Good to see we're focusing on the real political problems here

there's this one, still operating, but I don't think they take caravans. https://westcoasttours.co.uk/tours/kintyre-express/ This article from 1996 seems to talk about the introduction of the service you mention: https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12079394.new-life-ahoy-for-calmac-ferry-claymore/ And it's closure in 2000 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/652866.stm

An animated version appears on the main credits too (it appears to be docked by the Tyne Bridge!

And fans of ferries from Swinoujscie in Plan should check out the Nordic Murders series - set just over the border in Germany and available on Walther Presents, All4 (Channel 4). It's a kind darker "Murder She Wrote" (just imagine that Jessica Fletcher murders her husband in episode 1 and you'll get the idea). I think the German name for the series is "Der Usedom-Krimi"

I believe this is Superfast X at Rosyth or Riverseafingal as it is known in the CBeebies programme, Me Too. The programme confusingly mixes North Berwick, Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, Newcastle upon Tyne and Manchester into one city.

Free Enterprise I features in the Italian Job

Crikey! That was a lucky escape

"Scream if you want to go faster!" That could describe a post by @IanN about the E Flexer service to Spain!

'Ark at 'im. "Beef dripping"! Fancy. It's sheep dung or peat bog over here at the Lancashire Frontier.

Very true. In fact, switching the lights on at all (unless it's to pick rhubarb) is considered a bit of a southern extravagance

Definitely worth factoring in running costs. I think we have a few halogens in the home, but in very rarely used positions.

Just their sale, surely?

Already got one (though not in French). It's important that those who brought us Brexit take all the credit (though they seem strangely reluctant, of late)

Eee, bye Gum, Rowan behold, it's another thread full of puns. I'm a Sycamore of them to be honest. Someone should take the 'Elm and Spruce things up a bit

We loved it too and agree with your thoughts on been back on a ferry
