Well, today I drove down to Ashford on a little errand ( Rixy52 knows  ) and on the way back I saw Operation Stack in full flow on the opposite carriageway. Amazing to see so many trucks all parked up together. And so many miles of motorway devoid of cars.Amazing the chaos a few Frenchmen can cause

It's quite impressive. It's been alot worse, when they install all the toilets then you know it's going to be a long one. |

Quoted: It was worse - the postcode you gave me brought me to a little newsagents 35 miles from the shop Quoted: Well, today I drove down to Ashford on a little errand ( Rixy52 knows ) and on the way back I saw Operation Stack in full flow on the opposite carriageway.

By the time I arrived, they had closed up but were waiting for me - so, 1710 hrs, just me and 3 staff in gun room part of shop. They are cashing up with stacks of cash on counter. I unwrap gun. Then rack it to show clear. The young man counting the cash almost wet himself. Nothing better able to grab attention than a 12 bore being racked Especially when brandished by a Paddy looking hot and bothered after a long drive !Maybe, I should have chanted "Opening action, chamber empty" etc UKPSGAYesque............................. |

Quoted:
Anyone know if you can still get to Lydd if they are stacking the lorries? Not from them parts but visit Lydd a bit Cheers Yep, you can still get to Lydd. Parts of the M20 are closed so they'll divert you onto the A20 at certain points to avoid it. You'll come out on the main M20 roundabout at Ashford so it's normal from there. |
