Trip to france

[BIG"E"]

The ferry times of the first option look good to me.

I have just looked at the P&O site and to sum it up,
it costs £12 each way for a complementary glass of champers.

Personally I would go for the cheaper option as I am not sure whether I will employed then.

But that said, I dont want to be Billy no mates sitting on my own in with the poor people,
(not to keen on champers anyway)

I will of course go with the majority.

Looking forward to this trip. Hopefully go further a field next year the SOUTH OF FRANCE


By the way how much does the B&B cost will there be a group booking discount?

Ian
The club lounge bit was said tongue in cheek really,Cant bloody stand champagne.

The cheaper the better,i actually preper to be outside,weather permiting of course.

The hotel is approx £60, but i will be finding out today,if i can only speak to a french person then i am affraid i will just book it all on line as me ol francias aint too hot.

Will be booking the Ferry today on the first option. I take it everyone else is?

I have just spoken to the booking office and there is no problem with these dates and times.

Sorry i could not answer phone mate, am on call to some bloke in a call centre in Latvia,booking the hotel.

Bleedin Latvia!

Have you double checked there is not a small mining town in deepest Latvia called "Calais"

Not sure P&O go there mate!

Ok people "Update"

I have provisionally booked hotel,what a bloomin palava.
At the moment they only have 4 doubles available.
They are going to email me with the other options.
I requested 6 doubles,although i am happy to have a single.

As soon as i have the info i will post it.

The cost is 66 british pounds per couple.
If possible could i ask for a cheque for the £66 from all couples.

Cheers

What about twins ?????????

Get a better nights sleep that way.

Most hotels in france have twins rather than doubles.

Right peeps.
At work now.
This is now the site to use,as it actually shows the availability of each room.

Worzel you have pm

[666subaru]

Steve,yes mate,quality that people are up for it.

How could they eat that stuff?

Whats wrong with good old Haggis / Black Pudding / Kidneys?

[BIG"E"]

I have just checked my insurance.

From what I can make out everyone should be covered, but 3rd PARTY ONLY.

So to be covered FULLY COMP. it has just cost £26, that is because their minimum extra cover is 90 days.

Not long now !!!!!!!!!!!

Nice one Ian
I will call mine today,does it cover them if the ferry sinks

[BIG"E"]

Dont forget your passports.
