A Funster sent me a PM asking how I get my tunnel tickets... I thought I would answer it here just in case some one else was interested...
Before I start I must say that Bath does not yet have a Tescos so I can't get vouchers or what ever they are...
I just buy my tickets online... I log in to the site www.eurotunnel.com and look at the prices around the day(s) I wish to travel. There are usually some lower priced crossings often, but not always , late at night/early morning. I choose one of these and buy it by card. They don't send an actual ticket but the do confirm your booking by email.
I then arrive at the terminal some considerable time earlier than my booked time. You just put the card you used to buy the "ticket" with in the machine and it will ask you if you want to go earlier. Sometimes there is a surcharge for this but more often than not they let you go early for no eaxtra charge. If they want more money I refuse and go at my booked time. I spend the time I have on my hands in the Burger King... :thumb:
Still more expensive than a ferry but so very much better for a severe sufferer of sea sickness like me...

PS. When they ask you "does your vehicle have a gas tank?" (or something like that...) tick the box "NO". They are only interested in vehicles with engines that run on LPG not us Happy Campers and our cooking/hot water/heater/fridge gas. They will check your gas bottles are turned off at the terminal.
