Got fed up with the idea of 250+£ to go from Pompey to Caen/Cherbourg so booked with sea france for £74 Dover Calais. As you can see Portsmouth ferry port from my house, I'm going to spend the 176£ on petrol to Dover and a night and a few beers in Brighton en-route!

Those figures seem rather high. Best i have seen from thursday to monday is £159 (Dover- Calais) including entrance ticket...

I guess this may be a good rate through a club however....

That seems about if it include a ticket too (general entrance or camping?) as Dover Calais crossings on SeaCat or Chunnel are around the £120 mark.

They were just Ferry prices but as I've gone on to the P&O Portsmouth website 3 days in a row, put in the same detaisl 3 times and had 3 very different prices for exactly the same crossing on exactly the same day, time and boat then I'd take all prices with a pince of salt
Best I've got so far is £74 for a Dover - Calais crossing

[RaceGirl]

Raceboy, you have mail!

[raceboy]

I think the problems your end I've replied to the previous one you sent me

[RaceGirl]

reply to my work one to see if that helps.

[raceboy]

Done

[RaceGirl]

Received NOTHING! And don't you at me!

[raceboy]

Well I s'pose Yahoo is broke then
I'd email you from the work account but it's not exactly important and can wait till later

[RaceGirl]

So me getting a new job isn't important!! Thanks!

[raceboy]

errrrr I have no idea what your taking about, I think we have a breakdown in communicatoins here somewhere.

The last email I received from you was entitled 'cool thread on PH' and said...........

'your obviously busy then! i am starving! might have to go and buy a salad!'

Shame my phone's not working, I bet this is riviting to everyone else

[RaceGirl]

SORRY EVERYONE.
I have been offered the job of Commercial Analyst and I have accepted. Salary negotiable. Will get all the details on Monday.

[raceboy]

Well done then
Regarding the email problem, I've just had mail from Taff so not sure what the problem was/is
And to keep this remotely 'on-topic' we really must think about booking a ferry soon

[RaceGirl]

I noticed your post regarding Dover - Calais, are you edging towards that? What day are we going cause it's a long drive? I was think possibly a night somewhere Wednesday night, and an early ferry Thursday morning?

I got mail from my mum (ntl) so it must just be yahoo to yahoo as i got yours to my work address. Mail me your work address.

[raceboy]

Well if we can do Dover for £70ish the travel lodge costs are the same as Portsmouth and it gives us £150 of petrol money for the extra distance, and I'd guess it's no more than £50 more expensive

I sent you a mail to your works from mine, did you not get that

[RaceGirl]

No, I haven't received anything. Do you want me to get you a top up card for your pikey phone tonight, i hate not being able to call you.
