Depends how close you live to Hull, if you have 100 miles to get there, then you might as well head 100 miles South instead, but Zeebrugge to Lille is less than 60 miles.

Because I live in North West England, when I'm heading to Central /Eastern Europe my preferred channel crossing is Hull - Zeebrugge. Even on a bike it's a bit pricey. £200+ one way next month Hull to Dover is 520 miles, return. 13 gallons of fuel at 40mpg, or 60 litres. 70 odd quid just in fuel. A ...

It makes no odds whatsoever how bad the dashcam drivers reactions were, it's the coppers job to execute safely, and he should know only too well doing that job that you can't rely on the other driver.

If you maintain this level of political correctness then sadly it will continue. You could argue that not muslims are rerrorists but all terrorists have been muslims. Some say there are thousands on the watch list. In which case we will never have the capacity to deal with it and will be a matter o...

You're probably on the watch list yourself I'd have thought. I'd be quite happy with that, if things I write draw attention through keywords, it means the system is working, and I have nothing to hide. Not sure keywords get you on a watch list anyway, otherwise there would be millions of people bei...
