Shots of a lorry driver pulling up at the Cedar Café near Coventry which closed in October. Shots of a lorry on the road inter-cut with shots of drivers eating in a café and cut to music. Interview with a spokesman for the TGWU about a campaign they have begun to save the traditional transport cafes. Many are being replaced by fast food businesses such as Happy Eater or Little Chef (both owned by Trusthouse Forte). However, these new cafes cater for the motorist and often have a ban on lorries parking. Exterior shots of the Little Chef on the A45 at Meriden. We see a lorry driver parking his truck outside (which is against the rules) and sitting at his table. Rob talks to the manager about how they discourage lorries. Vox pops in the nearby Bob's Café about the decline in traditional 'greasy spoon' truck stops.
