Paul and PGTV should heve sent them their great pics. It WAS quite well covered (and reasonably accurately) by the local rag journalists tho. Two big articles. Just not from the readers / contributers quite so much. Link to post Share on other sites

It's in the Dft contract. Instead, revellers will have try two thin slices of squarely shaped bread to form a kind of base which will aid such things as the manufacturer of a 'Salt n Linekar' for those from the North, or a 'Sausage and onion gravy sandwich', for those who are fans of Red Dwarf 😉 Link to post Share on other sites

Danim24 Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 19 hours ago, hf_uk said: Someone on the local rag forum said "Foreign crewed ferries, no jobs for British seamen, so who cares?" Nice attitude. Any idea what BF has brought to the South West over the past 40 years+!? But they have a point to a degree. I don't think there is anything wrong with imposing crewing rules on regular ferry routes. Brittany Ferries should employ (say) 25% British crew. P&O and DFDS do so on the Dover/Calais route. But having said that, sodding Brexit would probably mess that up come January!

I knew DFDS was mixed but thought that was more to do with elements of SeaFrance/Norfolkline heritage than any intentional policy. (Stand to be corrected on this!) Link to post Share on other sites
