No probs on the day trip today, the French cop at Dover did not look at my passport & nobody was being pulled into the inspection shed. The 07.35 left 15mins late due to weather, arrived more or less on time & straight off at Calais with no more checks.
Down to Boulogne, to Leclerc's, dinner first, cafe packed, everybody laughing & joking, shop was heaving as usual, loaded up with beer/wine/sangria/food, then to Aldi for more beer/wine, then back to Calais to Pidou to cram in more beer, filled empty tank with 80p/litre diesel & back to dock for about 17.40.
French cop looked at my passport, his 2 mates stood there toting sub machine guns & that was about the only thing unusual. UK immigration, just the usual passport check & on ferry by 18.20.
Back to Dover, customs were pulling in mostly foreign reg cars & vans but nobody wanted to stop an old white bloke with a car load of beer so home I went. Nothing to see here, just a normal day in France with everybody getting on with life as it should be.

I have such mixed views about all of this. Total tragic, totally unforgiveable but do we all need to join in the hysteria. We need to carry on, we need to pay as little attention as possible to these terrorists not play into their hands. I am thinking of all the people involved and their families but i dont see how changing everything that moves to the French flag will help.
I'm glad you posted that (I thought it was just me)...
Any half decent person would of cause feel great sympathy for those *caught up in what happened(..and also feel anger towards the people who carried it out?)
(*close friends of my daughter, knew a lad killed at the gig)
But watching the TV reports, it seemed to become a media circus... with interviews with "ghouls",who had little or no reason to be there other for a **photo opportunity.
(**there was one "chic" young mum, with two small, bemused looking, kids posing and being re-posed umpteen times, whilst lighting candles and being repeatedly photographed by a photographer just a few feet from their faces....Why? That can't be respectful, surely?.....)
Why do people always have to be "SEEN" when they mourn nowadays?..be that in real life, or over social media?...
