and bugger all to get back into England?

RE: Eh?! nt

<font face="Times New Roman" size="3">earlier this week I drove from Bristol to Newport over the M4 bridge and it cost me &pound;5.10 which I'm reliably told goes to a french company. When I did the return journey it cost me nowt. It all seems bizarre to me.</font>

 

if a french company owns the bridge

or manages it then they will get the revenue (N)

 

RE: if a french company owns the bridge

I understand that bit but why only charge one way?

 

same with the forth road bridge nt

 

It often happens with bridge tolls

The likelihood is that most people will need to do a return journey so will have paid to use it, you could have fees half the price and collect both ways but you increase costs in collecting the fee.
When I went to Philadelphia last month, all the bridges were tolls going across the river toward the city but no charge coming out of the city.

 

if it was Barrow you would have to pay to get out

and it would still be a bargain , apologies to our Barrow friend

 

RE: same with the forth road bridge nt

we should be us charging the jocks &amp; taffs to come into our country not the other way round. In fact, I'd charge &pound;50 a time just to keep LD red on the other side of the border
