Transport

Congratulations have to be given to Blair and Prescott for the superb job they did with the transport system.

The BBC recently highlighted the fact that it only costs £500 to transport a container load of goods the 10,000+ miles from China to the UK. To then transport the same container a couple of hundred miles within the UK will then cost you a further £1500.Because that makes sense.

No wonder the Chinese manufacturing industry is hammering ours if they don't have the same kind of overheads British companies have to face.
