Long queues at Eurotunnel security (1 Viewer)

Queues back to check in at Calais

 

[Allanm]

There were 4 queues about that long when we came through Calais just over a week ago, we got through pretty quickly though.
There's always a GB car trying to jump the queue wherever you go.....

As is everywhere today, Robert.......However, SKEGGY is world renowned for temperatures that can rival Tunis on a good day. And the cockles are sublime!! None of that disgusting and smelly cannonball cheese you get in Vichy Land, just honest to goodness, cancer beating, wholesome pies and chips. Sublime!

And you should be amazed, Your Honour.....A visit to the sunshine delights of SKEGGY has that effect on those used to eating French muck.

Hi Allanm.
You are right about the GB car jumpers... However,looking at the angle the car is at in relation to the queue,it might,just might? Be a vehicle leaving the Dog Passport control area that is on that side.. A couple of times i have been exiting the Dog passport area,and "Vehicles ?" Have increased speed to stop me joining a steady flow of other vehicles moving towards the ticket booths. Being as the UK is a nation of Dog lovers,i put it down to some drivers who dislike M/homes...LOL.

But where do you think people would prefer to spend their holidays, given the choice
Skegness or say Italy for example? (where coincidentally we may be heading off to in a couple of weeks)
No contest me thinks

Queues back to check in at Calais

We've sat in queues like that many times

Thankfully it was only a queue for the security check. Once we had cleared that, immigration was a doddle and we made our train as originally planned.
Got stopped for an interior check, but that took less than a minute or so. The Eurotunnel approach is like Fort Knox now, and we didn't see any migrants at all.
We're safely home know, the vans empty and we're enjoying a cup of tea !

There were warning signs on M20 talking about storms on Monday - we're only back for a couple of weeks. May as well stayed in France and headed off to our new destination.

Your quite right. I admit it. I would rather wear a duck shaped 'G' string outside of Woolworths then holiday in Italy. I mean, what a dogs gonad of a place!! The country responsible for the thinnest book EVER written, (The Italian Book of War Heroes), full of greasy haired men trying to pinch your bum, and nothing but Dolmio pasta sauce to eat.........And they all speak a funny language.
Nope, Skeggy every time!!

I thought having to supply 'Advanced Passenger Information' prior to travel was designed to speed things up?

Well, I reckon if put to a vote Funsters would rather take a trip to the land of Pasta and Red wine, than Skegness - what do you think?
The Great British Holiday versus The Italian Job?

Your right again, and it's just through a lack of education!!
Put Skeggy and Italy side by side, and even such an anti-British resort person as yourself will see the sense of Yorkshire.....

ITALY. It costs a fortune to get there.
You have to travel through terrorist and Latvian robber infested countries to complete your journey.
It costs a fortune in fuel.
The food is crap
They all speak Italian.
You have to drive on the wrong side of the road.
You could be.........wait for it..........GASSED!
You either have to proceed to Mainland Europe piggyback on a train, or in a swaying ship.
You could be HORRIBLY sunburnt.

Skeggy.
It costs almost nowt to get there.
No terrorist threats, leaving you at peace to enjoy your break. (OK, a few Yorkshire sheep rustlers, but that's all).
You can get there on three gallons of chip fat.
The cuisine is rated as A1.......If you like chips....And who dosent?
Everyone you meet will speak English.
You get to drive on the side of the road God invented.
Your only GASSING risk will be from mushy peas.
No train, no ship, just travel bliss.
AND, you can leave the factor 30 at home, thereby saving weight.

Are the long queues at the Chunnel all the Europeans trying to get to Skegness? This might explain all the traffic on the roads today.
