Guys,
It was a bit of serious business actually, and thinking back, I was at the departure point quite early really, as instructed by email from Condor, but boarded quite late and was purposely positioned at the very rear of the car deck, with loads of room to open all of the doors, boot etc, and was parked right next to the port disabled person’s lift.
Anyway, after we had argued with everyone for a while about the 3 guys who had pinched our allocated seating right at the front of the lounge ( not their fault as the employee on the door who took a look at everyone ‘s entry ticket, ignored the allocated numbers and just told everyone that they could sit anywhere) there came an announcement ‘could the driver of a white VW Tiguan Reg no xyz, please come back to the car deck as a matter of urgency?
I’m sat down at last, and to get to the car deck, with a walker and, by now, “ a bad attitude” from the messing about with the seating, I really wasn’t going to fight my way through The Madding Crowd, so the wife took the keys and off she sashayed muttering something about a Condor being bigger than a turkey and would not fit the oven”.
When she eventually arrived, they wanted her to move the car so that they could board some late arrivals, but she can’t drive, so the officer of the deck moved it and eventually handed the keys back to her, joking that he didn’t want to hand them back – he wanted to keep the car ( VW Tiguan SEL )
Clearly the sensors on the ramp as you disembark, were too sensitive in this case, but it makes one think how easy it would have been for the guy to place something in the vehicle???
