  Alex does have a valid point regarding road charging and tolls across the channel. While the cost of diesel seems to be leveling out a bit at the moment a great many foreign trucks don't buy diesel in this country, don't pay anything towards our roads, refuse to pay parking charges at motorway services and bring all their own food with them so they don't spend a penny (or cent) in this country. At the same time they generate a lot of litter and mess locally and help destroy our roads that they aren't paying to use or repair in the process.
  
  On top of this many of these foreign companies are undercutting our own transport industry rates and helping to destroy it.
  
  What level playing field?
  
  And before anyone charges me with jumping on the bandwagon here, yes, I know I work for a European haulage company and am part of the problem (sort of). I'm an export!! At least I spend my wages in this country as do my other English collegues.
