A good watch for sure, all the episodes are available on Iplayer, the Portsmouth one is the Naval base so sadly no more BF footage

Re: Wake Up Music on Bretagne I agree with both parts of that Smartie, dont know why but the Pontys music is nice to be woken up with even at 6am!

Re: Adieu to the Normandy From the Press Release "under the terms of the purchase agreement title to the vessel will pass to ICG in early February 2007 and the purchase consideration will be paid in cash on completion. The vessel will then be chartered back to Color Line for service on the Oslo to Kiel route until the autumn of 2007. The vessel will then enter Irish Ferries service at which time the current vessel ( Normandy ) will be sold or chartered."

Re: Adieu to the Normandy IF Will aquire her in February, when she will be chartered back to Color Line until the Autumn, she will then be refitted and replace the Normandy in the Winter.

Re: Adieu to the Normandy Well this is good news, if only a little bit overdue, not too sure personally on the exterior design of the vessel though... now for the next little game.... just what will they name her???

Re: Why do you like BF? i think references are being made to the much slacker regulations in these registry countries, therefore ships may be more 'prone' to incidents, with some operators that arent are stringent with regulations!

Re: Why do you like BF? one that same note Jim..... from a students PoV, we were always made to feel more welcome with BfF than any other operator, when travelling as part of a school group. firstly with BF, they make you board as foot passengers, this means that you get greeted by a hostess who will show you to your reclining lounge, give you a welcome message and tell you everything you need to know about rules / safety and facilities. with the other operators we always just ended up thrown on the car deck and then finding our own way to whichever lounge we had been given. not exaxclty a helpful or personal touch.

Re: Worst BF ship yes! exactly Cornelia, shows exactly what i was meaning

Re: Worst BF ship i have never found a ship i hate, obviously everyone has their own opinions about how things could be different, for example Cornelia's feelings about too much yellow on the Pont-Aven. personally, the ship i never quite enjoyed as much as the rest was the Duc De Normandie, i havent a single justifyed reason why, but i just didnt feel right being onboard her. still sad to see her go though, hopefully to good owner!

Re:Brittany Ferries Memorabilia?! uummmm i was tempted once with those but i didnt have a big enough pocket

Re:Brittany Ferries Memorabilia?! i have a few things!

Re:Brittany Ferries Memorabilia?! ummm yes BF crockery, ermmm, our kitchen cupboard has some of that lurking at the back, 3 cups, 2 saucers, and 2 plates! and dont ask why!

Re:Brittany Ferries Memorabilia?! thinking on a slightly larger scale is that old small lifeboat (ex #2) still in the car park at roscoff dumped in one corner???
