  Yesterday around mid day the French P&O check in staff went on strike, don't think there was much impact.

  Oh yes there was Martin! It started earlier than suggested too! Calais port was jammed and the queue for the tunnel at Coquelle was back out onto the motorway. My colleague was due back into UK around 11:30 and finally made it at 13:45. Not much of a delay in the scheme of things I suppose and Eurotunnel Freight should be congratulated for keeping everything moving.

  Sorry about that Phil, I meant this end. Ferries were going out full and coming back empty to keep Dover moving. A French dispute affecting France and not us that is a rarity
