    Did i read somewhere here there was an organised ride to Dover and then
    the ferry across to Calais on April 29th?

    Might be fun, I and 17 others are doing the same trip going on the
    12.40 lunchtime crossing.

    UKRM annual French Run. 'Organised ride' is definitely the wrong way
    to describe it, both for legal reasons and simple truth.
    Can't remember our ferry times. Colin, when are we leaving?

    Bit like ours then, Calais to Ypres for food, then a mad rush to Ostend
    where the leader got done for speeding last year so we all chipped in
    to settle the gorgeous female policelady's fine.

    Jesus. *Why*?.

    I'm not sure how many are on this year's trip. It's usually fifty-odd.

    junction this year?
    Just to "clear the route" as it were

    That'll be you and the rest of the lads from the second-hand car
    dealers, will it? Sheepskin coats and trilbies all round.

    more likely to be a Bench tracksuit, Reebok Classic trainers & a No Fear
    baseball cap. Especially as he's from that Oxford.

    Wtf will anyone be going to France when every **** will be glued to the
    TV in UK leaving the roads free for me to play on.

    I'm staying here to exploit the best roads we have to offer with a
    minimum of traffic on them.
