…….my arse !
Recently the French seem to want us to queue at their borders for hours even those of us who have travelled into Europe several times with the new system ! Other countries want to remove the EES during peak summer travel but oh no, not the bloody French. Was it 6 something the other day !
Have to be honest I also did not know about the Crit’Air sticker needed for some French cities Complex load of old bollocks that requires old people like me to download or is it upload pictures to jpegs of your reg document onto a form. Pay and they post, sadly we will be gone before it arrives . Why not just send it digitally for you to print rather than international snail mail.

To all the French on this site, deep down we really love you and are looking forward to seeing friends in Toulouse.
Best to all,

Better to take the mick out of a spelling mistake Rich than disrespect an old lady battered to death. You don't like clubs holiday makers that go anywhere near Dartmouth anyone with a dinghy made of ash or beech but that's ok. Keep commenting on anything and everything as you do while most of us enjoy our Morgans new or old. And when i get to the beech ....beach as an ex veteran it might be melancolic it will certainly be humbling.Try it you may learn some respect for the dead.

I may be wrong but I thought the Entente Cordiale was with the Scots, not the English.

Going back to the EES system - went to Berlin in May, On arrival, registration system was fairly straightforward, and then just had to wait about 45mins to go through security. On the way back, it was a nightmare - massive queues at the desks, numerous passengers missed flights and took almost two hours to get through. So much for Tuetonic efficiency.

Just been to Spain, which has never been that well known for efficiency, but landed, straight to the EES machine and through security in minutes, with exactly the same on the way back.

You're thinking of the Auld Alliance mate, in which France and Scotland agreed in 1295 what to do if either was attacked by England.

Entente Cordiale was between the UK and France in 1904, in which we recognised each other's colonial ambitions and agreed not to tread on each other's toes.

Rich, this was quite a heated post, can I add to it by asking "Type2" does that mean that you have turned rainbow and are full of pride??
