Waberers, sorry All4trucks is becoming a bit of a hotspot for unwanted passengers. A couple of us have had em get in there in the last few weeks. I had two Albanians last Thursday. What you get for your 28 euro, god knows, a ■■■■■■■■
Ashford truckstop is now a Waberer’s yard. Dunno how they get a TV picture with all those satellite dishes next to each other! 
Apparently all4trucks are in liquidation and I was in ashford Tuesday night and one of the staff told me waberers had just changed their account at ashford too 200 trucks per day

I came through Calais yesterday morning, the trucks were queued almost back to the corner of the rocade and there were at least 60 guys of various nationalities walking up alongside the trailers (thankfully I was in my campervan heading back to UK for a holiday, so just drove steadily past them). Saw one EE fella guarding his truck with a three foot length of scaffold pipe and waving it at all and sundry while a few young potential immigrants were making various threats. Looks an absolute nightmare, and like you say after 20 years of coming through that port I too have never seen things this bad . . . I’m glad that our firm uses the Normandy ports for the UK, much less hassle.
