The oldies may be loved, but even the economic crisis hasn't completely damped dawn the onslaught on the " newies." Even Woman's Own (courtesy of a staffman's wife) recently gave over half a page to the outpourings of a lady who was " fuming about these smelly monsters."
People are welcome to fume, and there are some smelly monsters, but I do wish they would get their facts right when they launch into these tirades against the truck. Especially when they appear to have been well briefed with the arguments of the environmental lobby" ... so that they can bring monsters on to the road that are 15.9m (51 feet) long." Or: "To them bigger lorries add up to bigger profits." So what's illegal about that, When it also means holding down prices and competing with the Continent ?
