We did a Dover-Calais booze cruise yesterday for the first time in decades. All in all the duty free savings were typically 40-50% and a superb lunch was enjoyed in Calais. What really struck me though was the bureaucracy coming back on the French side. We had to present our passports three times at different booths -
1. Checking in to the sailing
2. For the French to insert an exit stamp
3. UK Border Force check.
Then our boot was checked for illegal immigrants.
Heaven help anyone coming back from a skiing break at half term it’s going to be chaos.
P.s.
watching the news just now it struck me that many were worried that Corbyn would drag is back to the 70’s politically speaking, and yet here we are anyway with strikes everywhere and double digit inflation looming.
