Any one driven over in a 7?

We have a static on the east coast, plan do drive to it in 7 through school summer holidays as swimbo will be there with little en, moi will be home on a regular basis keeping a eye on things, my question can you reach to pay the toll or is it a pain in but trying to pay through the window?

It will be fine, never really that busy and there are 2 lanes so others can go round you

But can you reach the booth whilst strapped in or do I take a fishing net

I've been over in the Fury. Usual kit/toll-booth problem of getting in my pocket in a bucket seat with harness on, but was fine other than that.

Loose change somewhere I can grab it then, just so happens it's only a short run to Cadwell from the van, every cloud.......

I work near there and I once went over in a berlingo van. The man charged me for a large van. On the return journey I checked the sign and they had a lesser charge for a small. Again the same man charged me for a large. I mentioned I thought the berlingo was small van. The man said 'just give me the f£%king money'. I said 'there's no need for that language' 'give me the f&%king money or f#£k off'. Cheesed off now I said something rude back and to my surprise he said 'right I am coming out there and I am going to f£%king kill you'. This fella was old, really old. Maybe 80 and very doddery. On his way out of the booth he stumbled and gripped the inner console for support. His hand must have knocked the barrier button because it went up and I drove though without paying.
