I’m sure it’s more convenient for SANEF that we all have little plastic boxes stuck to our windscreens,or UTA cards etc, but does anyone else miss the days when you would jump down from the cab and have a smile and a flirt with a pretty girl?
In the 1980’s, Autoroute companies seemed to have a policy of only hiring pretty girls (same as the Paris metro), and it seems a shame that efficiency and monetary greed have killed this little avenue of pleasure… 
For a minute there i thought you ment girls you had to pay a toll too 
Ah no, that is something entirely different, although I will start a thread on that soon.
As a taster, here’s a pic of a Spanish Peage Girl which I took last week on the NII near Girona.
Apologies if the photo is a little blurred, I was ■■■■■■■■■■■■ at the time

It was nice to practice your French too, although she was probably just saying “Computer says No!” 
The reason that UK truck drivers are so out of condition, before telepeage we had to climb out of the cab and hold our stomachs in while she swiped our cards
Maybe she was just laughing at our shorts, socks and sandals!!!
Remember them well Harry. Always used to smile and flirt a bit!! Was one of the things that made the job what it was then!!
I was always convinced that instead of sitting in that glass / plastic box breathing exhaust fumes she was just waiting for me to invite her into my cab and off to somewhere private to brush up on my french!!!
there’s hardly any staff on the peage’s now, just a couple of staff even at peak times, most have machines that take cards and cash
in the summer they used to employ students for the rush of cars but even that has sadly diminished with tags and cards
as for harrys girl she’s a bit overdressed 
the ones on the guadalhorce estate in malaga wear the skimpiest of bikinis at the coldest times
when my wife gives me a lift to work and my daughter asks why those women are standing around we tell her thay are on their way to the beach and their car must have broken down

Yea, when my little boy started coming away with me and he asked who these girls were, I told him they were poor ladies who couldn’t afford any clothes
The ones in Germany can even afford nice motorhomes as well.
So,how many of you were there at this mass debate then Harry?
We have to get out of the cab for the one at junction 3 on the A26 entry (no tag reader there, we hand her the tag to scan) when coming from our yard, some are pretty and some are just plain ugly
I also went over the bridge down at Le Havre last week and no tag readers working yet so had to pay with a card and I gotta say…oh yeah
You can still meet some of the nice girls to chat in Polish forrests…
You won’t need to ■■■■■■■■■■, if you only have some cash to spare… But the chat might be a bit problematic, unless you speak Russian/Ukrainian/Bulgarian/Romanian etc.
I would be most concerned if i saw girls like that, dressed like that,wandering around the woods alone!!!

They seem to walk alone, but there is a BMW with tinted windows hidden somewhere in the bushes…

Not a problem, I am familiar with the Russian tongue.

Gosh that’s posh, we used to call it a saxophone!

In Poland it’s commonly known as a Ice Cream, but as I am not good in idioms, I decided to go with official version

For those who are wondering, im sure google will oblige!!
