Beware at Calais (1 Viewer)

[TheBig1]

Yeah, trouble is, a lot of the guys think it's ok to rape the women in the camp. And they will eventually get here and bring this attitude towards women with them!

those working to help the migrants in the jungle have said that rape and sexual assaults happen there daily and much of it goes unreported to the police for fear of reprisals

Once they add the brothel all will become more settled.

Considering the story is from the mail I was surprised. For anyone who didn't read it I suggest you do. I had expected an account of lawless mayhem with rape and violence commonplace from the mail. Instead it sounds almost homely and the journo didn't give any sign that they were intimidated.

Can you show where this is this on Google maps ! I assume the fuel station is accessible for motorhomes.

It's fairly well signposted around Citi Europe. Turn right out of the motorhome park, down to the next roundabout - then pick up the signs
However, neither myself or another customer could get the damn pumps to work. Got as far as getting the card authorised, then nothing / nowt / nada

It is now commonplace for UK debit and credit cards to be rejected at French unmanned fuel stations. Same card will be accepted when manned though.

I find that they are less likely to be rejected now than they were 4/5 years ago particularly at supermarket 24/7s. Some now even take currency cards like caxtonfx. As to manned cash desks I have never in more than 10 years had a UK card refused in France. Germany yes.

I had only one scary moment this year, tried to fill up when the tank was on fumes in Italy on a Sunday. Put in the fair fx card, rejected even though loads of credit, stuck in my debit card (nationwide) rejected even though huge balance. Finally put in credit card (also nationwide) accepted! sigh of relief, and the van took a €100 gulp of much needed go go juice. Phoned Nationwide the next day, turns out they'd sent me a replacement card (that I hadn't ordered) whilst I was on holiday, and cancelled the one in my pocket! My wife's card was still perfectly valid (joint account), but I told her there was a problem with the account, no more spending on that card!
I am so glad she doesn't read this forum

Only ever had a visa debit card refused once and the same unmanned petrol station accepted my mastercsrd. That was four years ago and never had a refusal since in sixteen months of travel in France and Germany using unmanned 24/7 stations. Perhaps you've been unlucky

Funny enough I am a Nationwide customer and with my last debit card I could never get it to work at 'pay at pump' fuel outlets on the autoroutes. I always had to go inside to pay where it worked fine.

When I rang them when I got home they could offer me no explanation as to why this should be. Just an apology for the inconvenience.

My current debit card with them works fine.

Looking at the air pictures of the camp. It should not take more that an hour to clear? Start at one end at 3am and by 4am they should all be in the net, and ready to be boarded!

Next stop a North African Beach, where the sun shines and it`s not so cold!.

Bye Bye!
