This weekend's talks seem to have been 'positive', but the dispute runs on, so I do not see an early resumption of service.
I think these boats are almost entirely French crewed, though I stand to...

Re: Issues with pet chip scanners/Brittany Ferries

No, depth of chip is not an issue here, as far as I am aware.

It is a fact that some scanners will read our dog's chip, others will not. For example, the French vet has 2 scanners, one of which...

Re: dogs in france

Very interesting that LD Lines will allow this for foot passengers.
Although I am not sure how I would hand-carry a box for my Great Dane. Maybe I could carry it.

At risk of taking this thread...

Re: dogs in france

Not certain you are spot on either!
For example, worming is no longer 24-48 hours before return.
But I do not seek confrontation, all any of us is trying to do on here is to be helpful, and give...

Re: Comparable furniture costs

We brought white goods out from UK s the prices were much better there, and bought new specifically to equip the French house. We bought premium lines so they'd last.

Ideally without too many armchair-authority 'you should know this if you are on the road' observations, could anyone help me with this query, please?
