I do not understand what the rejoicing is about, a lot of our exports go by road through Dover and the Tunnel.

The object of Brexit is not to damage our own workers, but to increase Trade Deals and not be subject to the diktats of Juncker and Co.
Freight going across the channel was more reliable when Ostend was used. Four hours for a meal, and a rest so drivers were refreshed ready to drive safely.

Get this route going again and stuff the French with their strikes and their inabilty to sort immigration camps out...which will also disappear fast .

I used to love going across to Ostend, Solo. I did so much Christmas Shopping there, it really is a beautiful city, and the shops were fabulously decorated. Shame they stopped the crossing.

Me too. I think it was most teens first introduction to foreign parts and culture. I remember discovering pomme frittes and mayonaise there .

Re: French Ports To Be Cut Out Of The New Trade Routes!

LOL, Just think Solo, we could have been sitting next to each other eating our pomme fritts and mayo! (usually served by a miserable, sullen begger!). Of course, we were young then and thoroughly enjoyed all the shops and the Cappucino's sitting outside on the pedestrianised areas. We always felt so sophisticated!
