Here at Test Valley Freight we have put our master plan to combat the rise in fuel prices into action: 20 men pulled our 38-tonne truck through Whitchurch in Hampshire to raise money for the Piam Brown children's cancer ward at Southampton Hospital.
We completed 750 metres in just 10 minutes. Mind you, this is not recommended over Simi), and strangely enough everyone disappeared into the pub when I asked them to pull me to Southampton docks!
Perhaps Gordon Brown could help out, while pondering on further strategies to wipe out the UK haulage industry.
