Absolutely M. Moors! As it is with all other UK to continental Europe ferry crossings.

Well, I don't know about buses, but I reckon my car will find a shorter diversion! It seems slightly bonkers to me to do the whole stretch in one go.

Not many (if any) buses left between 8.00pm and 5.00am.
Let's hope a proper job is done instead of the usual bodge.

Yes Keith, I went to that desolate place called Lydd yesterday, over 2 hours to get there but only 45 minutes getting back. Got stuck several times behind a 102!

Hello Vic, yes she's ok thanks in spite of having a Bulgarian TIR backing into her car on Wednesday. He drove off of course. That's why I went to Lydd to get a S/H bonnet!
Best wishes to yourself and Lesley.

Can only hope the roundabout is going to be removed and replaced with a proper junction.
