Customs check today Dover and Tunnel

[2x2camper]

And how many trucks will be queuing in Calais .

Probably none as the problem is not getting into the country but getting out of it into Europe.

If things are working properly I expect trucks will just be waved through customs into the country, why would our European friends do the same for us.

There are a lot of companies that still have not got plans to deal with the problems that will be created if the "Oven ready deal" is not in place by the end of the year.

How can you plan for a situation you have no idea what they are going to create ,if anything?
Even the government has no plan about what will happen dependent on what one of the various scenarios actually happens.

We came back on the tunnel this morning, it was quiet, but we still left a good hour and a half late. We were due out at 10.50.
I could cry for all the poor lorry drivers stuck beyond Maidstone, and for all the other drivers and locals who have been blocked from the motorways and have to somehow find a different route to get to their destinations.

I was a Euro wagon driver. They get paid for it! Certainly wouldn't cry for them.

If the French get awkward I suggest a one in - one out policy as far as lorries go. That would keep the balance in our favour!

Don't worry Brits.

Remember you used to rule the world.

Boris and his talented, privately educated, colleagues have everything under control.

You must realise that the Johnny Foreigner infested EU countries rely on you and can't possibly manage with out your co-operation.

The rest of the world is queueing up to sign free trade deals with you.

The future is bright...

There are various systems you need to sign up for as an exporter. Alot of companies still haven't done this.

Whatever happens they are burying their head in the sand at the moment

There were reports today of the air freight industry being on a boom since covid - if lorries can't get through we'll fly it in to avoid the EU blockading us!

To feed Berlin yes, it won’t be near enough for the whole of the UK.

Who will pay as well? Me and you is who, massively increased costs.

I am all for a bit of nationalism but facing reality is in very short supply lately.

The queue is a consequence of the problems not the cause of it. If the right information hasn't been entered into the system or companies haven't signed up to them it doesn't matter how you intend to ship the goods you will have problems.

The problems will be exports not imports.

Long time since most lorry drivers got double bubble or even much in ordinary overtime pay, flat rate for 50 hours!

I sincerely hope I am wrong, I think it’s going to be awful though. My wish would be for those who believe it’s going to be amazing to Brexit to be proved correct.

Time will tell.

I don’t think Covid has helped to be honest, but at least I have toilet rolls and tea bags.

Not sure what else I need.

Name and shame the employer then?

We got caught in all that crap today. The Chunnel was really quiet with very few tourists.
I read it was all down to a terrorist operation.
