Hi, A good few years back we were a part of a protest regarding fuel prices, at that time I was driving HGVs their milage per gallon was approx 7 to 8 if you were lucky, the comp I worked for had throughout the UK over 300 artic lorrys ( No, not Stobarts) but even though he was running. The British Haulage were getting stuffed all ends with the rates, undercutting the rates, trucks coming in from abroad taking the Scottish work, Irish work, Welsh & English, As I have said a week ago, If the British public wants something doing about the cost BLOODY DO IT, DONT MOAN ABOUT IT, DO IT. The lorry driver tried, who moaned, the public, You keep paying it, they will put the price up its as simple as that. Each and every Goverment is put in their postion by us, YES BY US, if they want to keep the ecconemy stable, drop the tax on fuel & charge the bloody trucks, Cars, Buses that come in from abroad everyday, And dont say it cannot be done.
