A few people have mentioned the Douane in Dunkerque and they were the training camp for french customs

Wasn’t Felixstowe the UK equivalent? (or was it Ipswich?) I remember coming off the freighter at Ipswich once and going through the customs shed there. The customs officer brought out a spaniel on a lead and was just about to let it search my cab when I voiced my complaint. The officer had to get a towel and wipe the dog’s paws before letting it loose in my cab. It was more a case of not just standing idly by while letting the customs ride roughshod over you. :wink:

Yes Norman but they only had TWO legs! :slight_smile:

Hi boys

Dave the Renegade:


Sandbanks Ferry is a vehicular chain ferry which crosses the entrance of Poole Harbour in the English county of Dorset. The route runs from Sandbanks to Studland and in doing so connects the coastal parts of the towns of Bournemouth and Poole with Swanage and the Isle of Purbeck. This avoids a 25 mile journey by road

Dave I hope you were looking out for that speed boat even at sea there’s someone trying to cut you up :smiley: :smiley:
I’m very surprised at Tracy letting you go that way as all the lads that used Truck Line will tell you there is or was a nuddy beach to the left of where you disembarked :blush: :blush: :blush: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Regards Keith

Yes I know the ferry has had a few collisions with various boats over the years. I’ve been on one in Cornwall and the one at Cowes in the Isle of Wight,but that one in the pic crosses the entrance to Poole Harbour.
Cheers Dave.
