Sitting waiting for the ferry in Calais this morning, watching the wagons come off, must have been 100 probably more, didn't count and then watched 100 or so getting on .
How many of them were carrying the same stuff back to England that had just come off, one example that took my eye because I am interested in such things was a waggon with three tractors on from England and another one getting on with three french tractors going to England , now although different makes they were basicly the same sort of tractor, so wouldn't it be better all round if the English tractors stayed in England and the French tractors stayed in france, save all that diesel and time and rubber and man hours never mind the pollution , the manufactours wouldn't lose out they would still sell as many tractors but wouldn't have to transport them abroad, now i know someone one will come up with freedom of choice and all that but I am just looking at it from a green view, and not only tractors there must be untold loads of bits of metal that could just as easy be made in their own country, as well as food and all manner of things but I suppose the governments are making far to much out of fuel tax and road tax and that to try and get to grips with it, must be far more of a pollution saver than all these turbines
