don't like the train, its just like being in the tube in your car.

No time to get up and enjoy some fresh air, watch the white cliffs disappear, and grab a fried breakfast.

Trying to find the place i last used - affliliated with one of the "booze'n'fag run" sites - they had a link to very discounted rates.

For Holland, it'd probably be Norfolk Line or P&O, wouldn't it?

But the extra hour it takes, I'd rather stop elsewhere on route and stretch legs properly, and have a decent breakfast, rather than the plastic shite they server up on the ferrys
