How do you piss in a coke bottle? Costa cup is already a challenge, especially when almost full and you need to squeeze off in time

And the usual issues with queues of trucks.

Oh well <shrugs shoulders> It's what the lovely folks of Kent voted for

But to someone of Mordac's intellectual capabilities, Grayling must seem like Einstein.

I have hair, and they're a couple of bald fookers. Well, apart from the dead one...which one is that again?

Plasma rifles in 40 watt range?

You mean light bulbs?

Relatively speaking, yes

Grayling is not exactly someone I would hire.

Grayling is not exactly someone I would hire. He was transport secretary for only 4 months and if you look at the annual report from the Department for Transport while he was there, it doesn't make good reading for the amount of money he spaffed away:

- 50.2 million to a number of ferry companies for negotiated settlements due to Brexit being postponed and his cock-up with the invisible ferry ship company
- another 11.4 million for when Brexit was postponed again
- due to the above, they then had to pay 33 million to Eurotunnel in compensation
- they had to pay nearly half a million in non-refundable hotel fees and the same again on a border readiness contract, whatever that is
- then there was 16 million in preparation for a no-deal Brexit which never occurred
- they also had to pay 5 million to Arriva, a German company, for excluding them from a rail franchise contest
- and so on...

Some of our trade with the EU goes through Dover. I know because Chris Grayling told me. Or was it Grant Shapps? Still, either of them probably has more of a grasp of international shipping than you do.

Well there's a phrase and 2 names I wasn't expecting to see together in one paragraph

What have you been drinking?
Correct, some of it goes through Dover. (About 5% of the overall tonnage, or 98% of Dover's tonnage)

The 5 busiest UK sea freight ports with the EU are:
Grimsby & Immingham
Dover
London
Tees & Hartlepool
