How much has the taxpayer had to cough up just so noddyneys can go and get some cheap lager and fags?

We do waste some money in this country.

When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.

I did the Dover to Calais on Speedferries a while back. It was ok and for only £50 return.....at least I am sure it was Calais....

I was thinking of high flyers like sasguru, not some dodgy Italian permie.

Wonder what prices are like in Calais. For those who have just passed through or used the supermarkets, the city centre is surprisngly nice.

True, there's some very nice little restaurants in the centre.
