This is me at the Eurotunnel trying to get back. Fortunately nobody behind me as it took 20 minutes to get through 20 website crashes.

Passenger locator form.

The car has set foot in France, not me, but I have to quarantine for 10 days. Madness.

It's about time all this nonsense about quarantine ends. As long as you have been double jabbed that should be enough, at most a negative test just to make sure, but anything else is just being ridiculous.

I get the distinct impression that the scientists want to keep us in lock down and just thinking up new ways to impose it without it actually being called a lockdown.

If you’d have gotten the slow boat from Zebrugge to Hull, would you have had to isolate?

I think it's typical UK government. Couldn't organise a p*ss-up in a brewery!
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Unfortunately I don't agree, I think this is very deliberate and planned. The scientists have had their 15 mins of fame and they don't want to give it up despite most of SAGE predictions being wrong.

Are you starting to think that perhaps this is more about control than it is about health?

My opinion from shortly after the start of this whole worldwide insanity...But no, I’m just a conspiracy theorist!

It certainly is political now. France is better in numbers than Spain so there is no reason for this what so ever.

Very expensive for such a load of rubbish as well.

That will be the speed boat version then with the air under water :lol:

It started so well as well at the Eurotunnel where they wanted to put the M in the x-ray machine. In my best French I told them to do one as they weren't going to drag my car through the machine on one wheel clamp (which was too narrow anyway so would have damaged the alloy).

At least it is great with the French, with pushback they surrender straight away :D

Of course they did - they knew you were coming back from the lowlands with a haul of 'herbal tea'...
