3 day strike started today! Delays likely on ferry

I have just called P&O to check on any likely delays. They are currently not having any problems with their sailings and do not expect any delays.

We might still get there without any problems chaps

Martyn, I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers these sweets! I know Rob does too (Surrey thread "who remembers")

Coconut shag! I used to love the stuff. Used to come in a small red matchbox size packet, with a picture of a sailing ship (The Flying Dutchman). Nothing like promoting tobacco to small children hey

I asked this question on the Surrey thread............................. I am probably going to look like a proper BUT......... Who remembers Triffic Bars? They were advertised by Mike Reid (Triffik coming from his catch phrase on Runaround) They were bloody loverly!

Nougat and chocolate,remember it matey.


Fingers crossed for the ferry,if there is a strike its likely we will get held up,boo hoo

Fookin french tossers
Industrial action 26th to 29th
Remind me to have a huge crap over the side when we get there

Gale force 8 forecast for the crossing.
I am looking at the option of taking the tunnel.,I cant take risk of being sick,very dangerous for me right now.Was told that if i am ill in the 10 to 12 weeks after surgery i must get antisick drugs from a&e imeadiatley.

Will keep you peeps posted.

Oh well,checked the Euro Tunnell,ok going but nothing back until late on Sunday.

I guess its seagull soup time

Mr Crowman is happier now,just checked the shipping forecast,Dover crossing is no longer red.
Dropped from a force 8 - rough to 5 to 7 slight/moderate.

Well we are back.
Did not start well for me,started car up 05.15am sat morning,loud crap sounding exhaust blow,I am sure running repair attempts will be shown by Worzel later as he was our camera man.
The weekend was really good,great company,scenery,food especially the roast chestnuts,thanks Big E.

I am looking forward to seeing all the pics.

Will have to wait for them,as Worzel will be working his way through a dozen cheese's by now.

Watch this space.

Firstly..... Said it a few times today, but once again, brilliant job Martyn.

Had a fantastic time with great people. Ate really well, obviously didn't drink too much because of the driving but still had a few sherberts Thanks to all that came.

Walkie talkies were brilliant fun and so practical too, Christine (Mrs E) was particularly good fun on them

Pics are very cool , will try to get a few up tonight if I can.

[crow sti]

What a great week end . like steve said great people to share some time with and thanks to all on the trip for making it such good fun . Bit of luck with near dead calm ferry crossings saved crow man thanks martin for all the effort put in to get this off the ground and cant wait for next time .

[666subaru]

Totally agree with all above, excellent trip out, great company, hotel was good especially the brekkie, thanks Babe for finding it, we will be going back within the next couple of months hopefully, Got a few pics but Worzels are going to be better than ours, thanks Martyn for all the hard work, and taking numerous detours

Hopefully next time, more people will come.

We both had a lovely time on the recent french trip.
It was particularly great to meet "the better halves" , Brugge was beautiful as always, it felt so Christmassy with the ice rink in the town square and the various stalls selling all manner of lace and Christmas gifts. Of cause we had to visit our favourite choccy shop "The Chocolate Line" to buy some samples...............they are going down a treat!
Apart from the french taxi drivers ripping us off on our trip into LILLE, we had a most pleasant evening and ate in an Italian Restaurant just off the town square.
The Central town square in Lille (Place Du General De Gaulle) was like a giant Christmas Grotto, with snow scenes, Santa and reindeer, Christmas music filled the air, and of cause the roasted chesnuts on sale which made it perfect. They certainly know how to create a lovely festive atmosphere.
The accommodation was very good, clean, and beds comfy, a very good selection of buffet for breakfast, a very modern structure on the outskirts of Lille.
We made a trip to the hypermarkets to purchase our booze, chocolates, olive oil and washing powder before boarding the ferry home (yes it was choppy)................!
We made a few interesting detours along the way, courtesy of the sat navs (so glad I wasn't map reading.......something at which I fail miserably!!).

Over and Out for now big buddies...........Come back......
