Got to Calais 2 hrs ago moaning about delays. Overheard lady in services saying storming of chunnel, Google news, can't believe it !!! They got as far as the train Glad I was in ignorance to be fair. All quiet there this evening. Any funsters caught up in it ?

We came through at 8 this morning having overnighted at Boulogne. Our train delayed by 30 mins. Saw no 'foriegners' and approach road was clear. No problems at all. Did see one imigrant on the M20 though being apprehended by two police officers. Hope they put him on a lorry going to France!

 

[Robert Clark]

We crossed from UK side at lunchtime
M2o closed and 3 hour delay

I reckon we should get a fleet of lorries with easy access for our immigrant friends and when they all aboard hiding we turn round and drop them off in italy or elsewhere

 

[chaser]

Don't know if any one else has noticed this but they have put a wire fence around the tunnel terminal in France , maybe 20 foot high BUT there is a two foot gap at the bottom where anything can get under, don't understand it.

Well seeing as we import more than we export most of the trucks going back Europe are empty there should be plenty of room for a few thousand a day

Perfect then..

 

[Tootles]

Bagged a brace as they came out at Folkstone. Number 6 shot, 12 gauge, will have them for h'oderves

 

[scotjimland]

why don't they electrify the fence to stop them climbing over, going under .. or cutting through it ?

poppadoms anyone, curried dog, cat burgers, get your snacks here.

They can't do that, the immigrant caught here becomes our problem. Similarly, the French can't ship theirs over the border into Italy.

The cynic would suspect this provides an incentive for European countries to pass on the immigrants to the next country on their route.

If it is ,that would explain the gap under it, or it would earth to the ground if it touched

And Wales

well, if it's ineffective, and by what I've seen, about as much use as a chocolate fire guard..

Complet​

Strange really. Families from Luton fly to Turkey, then on to Syria, whilst at the same time families from Syria swim the Mediterranean then try to get here. This surely must be the Eastern equivalent of the schools exchange programme??

The channel under it should be filled with a flammable liquid.

It's always a possibility. That bird from ABBA was always on the phone, pestering me for a date.......And Debbie Harry.............. But hey, I'm a one wife sort of guy.

 

[Spottycatz]

So after all the 'funny' replies, no one has actually seen any problems at Calais. Fine. All is normal then.

Whoops, sorry, thought this was Motorhome Fun ........My mistake. Must have logged onto the 'C of E Miserable Cassock Lifters website.

 

[Spottycatz]

It is Fun. However, it would be nice once in while if the thread had a bit of useful information in the replies. I'll be getting the tunnel from Calais in a wee while and it would've been nice to know what was happening. But on ya go. Have ya fun.

 

[chaser]

We went over in the first strike, came back in the second, parked on cite Europe , no problem apart from short delay going no probs at all coming back till we got on the m20 over here, mayhem.
