UK Lorry Drivers Feeling The Pump Pains Too

I just read a report from the BBC.  It's the British equivalent of CNN 

The first sentence reads  - “Lorry drivers protesting against the 'rocketing' price of diesel have arrived in a convoy in central London.”  A lorry is a truck in Britain.  Seems these folks are confronting many of the same issues that we are experiencing.  Diesel prices in Britain are about $8 per gallon. 

The good news for the British is that their country is much smaller than ours and hence the total cost for truck movement is not as high as in the US.  Nevertheless, the price of diesel fuel is an area of concern in many countries around the world.
