点评:After a lovely few days away we had the misfortune to find ourselves at this toll bridge. We had missed seeing the alleged signage for the toll bridge and weren't aware we'd have to pay to continue on our journey until two rude and unpleasant hi-viz wearing women stepped out in front of us with a pot demanding money and telling us off for pulling too far forward. We thought it was a joke that a narrow public highway could be blocked and create traffic jams in both directions simply by two rude women who made Basil Fawlty look positively charming! How is this allowed? For people who don't know the area, it's a nightmare as you can't turn around and as mentioned the lack of clear signage doesn't give you options.
It seemed so ridiculous that I Googled to see if it was a genuine "thing" as the women were so unpleasant we thought they could be fraudsters who just position themselves to jump out and demand money from unsuspecting people! Apparently it is genuine and we were reassured to read that other people had similar bad experiences! What impression does this give of our country to foreign tourists who have the misfortune to find themselves at this troll bridge!

这感觉太荒谬了,我谷歌了一下,想看看这是否是真的“事情”,因为这两个女人太令人讨厌了,我们以为她们可能是骗子,只是摆好姿势跳出来向毫无戒心的人勒索钱财!看来这是真的,看到其他人也有类似的糟糕经历,我们才安心不少!这会让那些不幸走上这座巨魔桥的外国游客对我们国家留下什么印象呢?
