Oh how I laughed, I nearly wet the bed.

Still, I doubt Eurotunnel will lose out, as they'll claw it all back when people who HAD to travel today and got a ferry realise that doing so has invalidated the return ticket, and they'll have to pay €209 one way.

Never used the tunnel, and while I own this car I never will ..  :) so end of the month .. leave home around 05:00  .. get to Dover 08:30. Sail at 09:30 arrive Calais 11:00 which is 12:00 French time, arrive Joinville 16:30 .. first beer 16:35  :)  (all timings with the tin tent on the back so a tad slower than when solo .. :) )

Did a quick google to see where that is....according to google its in Brazil.....so 4.5hrs....is pretty good going Mr E from French France :y ;D


 oh dear .. a lack of geographical knowledge methinks ..

I'm nearer to Dover, so: leave home at 06.20; on the M2 at 06.25; arrive at the docks 07.10; drive straight on the ferry; have breakfast with a couple of coffees and then a piss before disembarking at 10.00(French time); drive out the docks and straight onto the motorway; arrive at Saleignes(near Cognac) about 17.15

Every time I've done this in the last 7 years, the tunnel has been twice as much, and the hour(at the most) that you 'gain' isn't worth that much to me. And it isn't a gain if you add in an extra stop for breakfast.
