Hi again folks,
Adding to the above I believe that the normal ferry from Dover to Calais is not much faster than in the 1930s when they used steam ships!!! Its just the loading thats faster!!!!. And just to show how really mad Governments can get why do you have to drive to Dover(or within a couple of miles) to put your car on a tunnel train!!!! Why not load the car in say Birmingham. or in fact the lorries which would cut some conjestion. I think I'll stay at home for the next few weeks and let the Xmas rush go on without me. Humbug!!!! Cheers Nige

I wish that I COULD use the bus, however I close my business at 6pm & the last bus home(when they run it) leaves at5.45pm from the wrong side of town.

And for those who tried to go to work in London today 10/12/02 there was yet another failure and the trains didnt run so of course they all walked to work (or took the volvo once again after having to pay to get out of the car park) Cunning ploy at work somewhere. Cheers Nige
