people where blaming the ferry operaters for the delays. but you would have thought people started staggering the start of there holidays wouldn't you, instead of all trying to get to port at the same time.
will it be like that when Brexit finaly happens.
Depends whether your 'it' Brian means Dover coming to a standstill or, like post 4240, blaming the fallout on the carriers/DHB. As regards the standstill:
IF Brexit triggers delays to or bunching of outbound tourist or freight traffic and queues result
AND IF drivers think they can circumvent the queues by using "the old A2", "the old A20", or allied routes
THEN there is a significant risk that Dover will become gridlocked.
(Come to think of it, the icing on the cake would be some prat using the Alkham valley and taking out the bridge at River.)
As regards blame:
YES.
