I actually quite respect the French for this type of action. I think we could take a leaf out of their book a lot of the time.
If they don't agree with something, they do something about it, & bo**ocks to how it affects others. Maybe a bit of a selfish attitude but it either gets results or at least make them feel better.
It's typical that we just moan & stamp our feet, threaten to end the world then when our authorities say "no you can't do that" we just lay back and say "OH, Ok then we won't" and go back to whining!

What are we doing about fuel taxes etc? sending endless emails about boycotting an Esso station one day of the year - I bet they're quaking in their boots!! Very Happy .

Inconvenient? Yes. Expensive to others? Yes. do they care? Absolutely not

Hi when they do operation stack on the A14 to felixstowe because of high winds closing the port, all the lorries are parked on the outside lane, allowing local traffic to use the inside.

The authorities have organised a list of mobile burger vans etc. who will feed them. As for toilets, guess its field fertilising time. Laughing

Operation Stack still ongoing, but delays are not too bad if you use P&O and the A2. It also avoids the Dover A20 roadworks.......

Last trip was last saturday/tuesday and it was OK. Next trip is this tuesday. All via P&O. This is with car, not motorhome, by the way.

M20 has a portaloo every 50 odd metres for the truck drivers and non goods drivers are taken off the road away from the M20. Hard luck if you're in a white van, though. Saw lots in the stack when coming home on tuesday - but think that they are the commercial ones.

Sorry late reply - came back across the channel on P&O today and no delays. the Sea France strike ended a couple of days ago

Bad news was 1000's of screaming kids. I counted 7 coaches....... Always do the club class bit for some peace and quiet as I am an antisocial traveller. Spend half my life away at the mo.
