        Well he did say Stack would last all summer.
        So I guess there is no point in him hanging around here.

        As we know, unless war is declared the long summer recess will not be broken, the whole bunch of them really need a holiday.
        Things might be better if they didn't come back.;)

        Said on the news tonight that they were going to start stacking lorries on Manston airport.
        Then added only ones bound for Dover.

        Surely the main trouble the last few times has been with tunnel traffic, so how is it going to make a difference.

        Anyway, Manston is not really in the right area, and I can see lots of clogged up roads around that way shold they go ahead with the idea.

        I've got a feeling its just to make out they are actually doing something to solve the problem, rather than a real attempt to get it sorted.

          They're being democratic and spreading the pain! :heehee: By this time next year the car park will have spread our side of the river! :yikes:

          Will they be setting up tents and a soup kitchen at Camp Manston? :doh: :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

              They showed them getting Manston ready to receive the "onslaught", there was even a couple of blokes wandering around with bush cutters getting the grass nicely cut.:biggrin:

              If I got a caravan do you think they would let me park it there for a couple of weeks, it looked quite nice.:biggrin:
              Just a short hop to to go "Down Margit in the Rain".

                  Extending this just a bit.
                  But I heard on the news tonight that the United Nations have condemned Greece for the conditions that the "refugees" are living in.
                  Just tents, in local parks.

                  Why dont the United Nations get off their fat a***holes, and get the problems sorted out in these peoples homelands.
                  Then maybe their wouldn't be a need for them to live in tents, in somebody else's country.
