The posts may well be from January onward but the pics may well be what my hubby called 'stock photos' . Apparently its something journalists use .

B Dobson Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Well he did break some of the big exclusives back in the day before he was sacked but I dont recall the Corbyn story being one of his . Thankyou for your kind words by the way Barryd999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As its motorhome related perhaps it will be allowed I dunno. Looks like we might need to plan ahead next summer, as in several days ahead. https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/eu-border-uk-fingerprint-face-travel-b2234413.html Where is the argument? If it is going to take 4 times longer (as reported by multiple sources) than at present to process the passport of each individual, then the hourly throughput of the port (whether Dover or other) is going to be reduced to 25% of the present rate. This will be the case at any time of day, at any port, so whereas it may have minimal impact at times of low demand, it will have critical impact at times of high demand, and the knock on from the inevitable queues will begin to spill into the low demand periods. The solution would appear to be to quadruple the number of check-in cubicles and staff. That will be costly and in the short term disruptive. The same will apply both sides of the ditch. Who will pay? Guess. So, one way or another it will either cost you time or money. Is this not obvious? Is there some magic alternative? Will unicorns do the passport checks?

Think about that if possible Say it now takes one minute to process each person instead of 10 seconds. One minute doesn't sound like much. But it means you now need 6 times as many staff and booths. And how can we expect the French to do that for us when we have brought it upon ourselves?

Barryd999 Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 I see there is now yet another ferry going to be laid on for our Irish motorhomer friends. Sounds great and of course will bypass the carnage at Dover which of course is now predicted to be even worse next summer with these new checks which I suspect as ever we will be ill prepared for. https://www.independent.ie/life/travel/travel-news/new-cruise-ferry-to-sail-from-ireland-to-france-with-nordic-spa-and-42-pet-friendly-cabins-42179107.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a win win for Irish motorhomers for sure. Not so much for those travelling from mainland UK though. I notice you dont go on your six month winter trips to Spain anymore Dave. I seem to remember you telling the forum all those years back that you would easily get around the 90 days limit or that it wouldnt apply to you. Wonder why your not going then? Probably busy in the £30k Greenhouse you built or still building the £100k garage I bet. I bet you miss this place. Which was actually real. I wonder how many of those punters are now back home wondering if they can afford to heat or eat . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
