Pride of Calais

Suedehead:

gettin-on:
Proper waiter service on these two use to prefer geting on these than the ex stena line boats

Was it one of these that the woman with big hands and adams apple served in the drivers restaurant
Around lAte 90’s early 00,s

Just didnt look right in a skirt(he/she not me)
Fond memories but why was the soup always French onion back in the day and a steak was always slightly burnt . .

Your right there IT didnt look right either way
Was on there one night and it was getting quite abit of stick
Prob worse place to work

Wasn’t ‘her’ name Ann? He / she / it used to usually work on the Burgundy.

As for the bread rolls, can’t blame it on Eastern Europeans, virtually every crossing I was on had virtually every driver grabbing a handful to take away

Hi
I remember thanking him/her by saying,“Thank you love”,someone shook their head and grinned,then i realised why. Must have taken a large pair of Balls,going in there every trip,knowing what “HAIRY ARSED” truckers can be like. Sad about the ship,God Speed,in your new life/lives.

A YouTube of the beaching from a different angle!

Cool!! Just shows there is not much boat under the waterline on those ferries… biggest wonder they float!

Is this the Pride of Calais?

At least she went with more panache than her sister Pride of Dover

Ann is still alive and well guys , I’ve bumped into her a few times out with her daughter ,gran kids , husband , There was a tranvestite that worked on the boat with her but I can’t remember its name .
