My car has decided it doesn't want to go to France. I was just getting ready to throw some luggage into the boot, when I noticed it had adopted a lower slung look than customary. I walked to the front and my foot clipped half a serious looking metal ring laying on the ground. I think it has been looking at too many pictures of French Citroens or something. The new low-slung look was an effect of a shock absorber catastrophe. I noticed a clunk sound when I was driving back from Heathrow yesterday, and fear that something important has snapped.
Oh well, it looks as if the little blue convertible will be making the trip to France instead.
UPDATE:
Motorists have been warned to expect serious delays due to Operation Stack being implemented on the M20.
Industrial action at the French ports of Calais, Boulogne and Dunkirk is preventing ferries from crossing the Channel, meaning freight must use a section of the motorway as a giant lorry park.
Fishermen are protesting at ever tougher EU-imposed fishing quotas, and are calling for more support from their government.
Police are closing the coast-bound carriageway between junctions eight (Leeds Castle) and nine (Ashford West), with motorists being asked to find alternative routes.
Eurotunnel will continue to transport freight and people who have already secured bookings.
I wonder if our ticket will still work?
