Title: EuroTunnel gets a new name so its ready for Brexit.
Post by: zirk on 22 November 2017, 21:40:59
French Owned Euro Tunnel has renamed it, its now called Brexlink....         no actually, the new name is Getlink, close, but the French never did have a sense of humor.

I thought David Davis was going to negotiate sorting it out for good with a very large can of expanding foam in 2019. :-\

It will be like a one way valve. You can leave the Uk via the tunnel but not get back in. ;D

The other way round seems more likely, but only for British passport holders of course.  ::)  Everyone else will be able to come and go as they please and have their rights guaranteed by the ECJ, ICJ, US Supreme Court, Chinese Supreme Peoples Court etc etc   :P

Probably have a stonking bill to pay ::)

More efficient for the shareholders to rebrand (as a new company having first bankrupted the old one) than cough up :-X

Aught to be run like The Seven Bridge, free for any Remoaners that want to leave the UK and then when they can't get a job in Europe a £1m return fare. :) :) :)

iirc TB tested out a trial run of this a few years ago? ::) ::) ::)

The describes the current situation perfectly. They sell you a return ticket, then deny all knowledge of you when you try to use the return part of the ticket. Never again!. >:(

I take it you did not have the £1m for a return ticket.

On the subject of names. How about renaming Ashford International as " Worlds End" for passengers leaving little England and for those arriving " the promised land"? On the worlds end platform there would be publicity material for that famous tourist attraction Nappy man  . On the other just leaflets on how to claim benefits.

Hope and Despair might me more appropriate...

Which end is which would all depend on your perspective, although I would suggest that Despair is nearer France :D
