Of course, I forgot to mention that do we now have a Blue Passport (HUZZAH!!!) – albeit not in the same shade of blue (or was it black? Perhaps a shade of bluey black? Or blacky-blue?), and that are Made in France. Which will at least give us something to look at while we’re stuck for hours in the International Travellers queue every time we want to pop over to Calais on the ferry for some cheap Christmas booze.
It would have to be by ferry, because after 4 years of Bluff and Bluster we don’t even have an Agreement that will allow British ‘planes fly over, or land in, any EU country. And once we set foot on foreign soil we have to cough up extra for Travel Insurance, Health Insurance, extra Documentation that we now need in order to drive in the EU, Roaming Charges for ‘phones . . .
