  I see on tv tonight that the booze traders in Calais are hitting dire trading conditions. On a report on Newsroom Southeast it showed these great wine warehouses completely empty, deserted, that traditional tumbleweed blowing aimlessly though the empty ghost town car parks. Unheard of in previous years. The standard Christmas bargainhunting trek for Brits to Carrefour and Cite Europe or whatever is no longer happening.
  
  There is no longer value for money. With the Pound worth roughly one Euro or near as dammit, all the bargains have vapourised, just like Santa does himself on Boxing Day.
  
  If the pound continued in such vein and who's to say it wont, there could be a huge reduction in ferry travel particularly off season . No need for ferry travel, no need for jobs. In a weird way the warehouses being empty in Calais could seriously hit employment levels in Dover.
  
  Should we feel sorry for these Warehouses which exist for the British market only. They gave us great bargains before and now we have deserted them??
