I suppose having so few tolled roads, and not having the borders where those customs posts have been common counted against it. If for example there had been a hard border due to the union not happening, and one side or the other or both having a tolled network these would have been more common.

Also the police in France and Spain use them for mobile checkpoints or traffic control at accidents. We don't in that way either.

Sorry, was £43.84. Italy was a bit more.
Sarah: my apologies for raising this, but given that these PDFs show your postal address, please tell me that the HSBC sort code and account number at the top right are NOT your bank details?? This would be a gift to any identity thief.

No, they are not my bank details, they are the uk bank details of toll tickets

It was a nice souvenir until the car got nicked at the end of that year :(
