Just had some bright spark on Twitter claim that the French are only doing border checks and stamping passports “out of spite”.

So the 4 closed french passport booths would make a difference if they were personed? Not an expert just what my eyes saw when I was there.

But which day, no delays at Dover either but wait until the weekends and its a different story
“Absolute carnage” says one coach operator. I presume lots of people threw themselves in the sea 
Yes, they usually use that particular word to describe very nasty road accidents with multiple injuries and fatalities. Hardly the same and too strong a word to use for basically a traffic jam!

Hate tabloid speak
We crossed Monday. Wonderful to be here.
And politician speak. Whatever happened to ‘extremely’? I presume that’s what they mean each of multiple times they say ‘incredibly’. Do they really not know that that means we should not believe them?
Perhaps for once they were being truthful after all.

It’s just an ordinary colloquialism, like describing something as a tram-smash or complete disaster when it’s just a bit of a hiccup.
hyperbole rules ok😃

Waiting for one of the journos to say it was “unprecedented”
And here in sw24, the anti frost éoliennes were all in action this week.
Hopefully we will continue to land lucky, this year the trees are all really heavy with blossom, the best show in perhaps 4-5 years, the forecast for the next 10 days here in 72 is 7-9C at night and 18-21C during the day.
