old 67:
Just out of interest, Rob, were you working for yourself when chasing to get to the Teesport boat ?
Regards. John.
I know what you’re getting atmate… no it was not for myself, but nobody was putting pressure on me either.
I made the call, down to me 100%.wanted a weekend or somewhere near finish on return from Belgium rather than go through Calais…no need to comment on that btw…I know. 
In the cold light of day today 8 yrs later…bad move .
On the day a split second decision, on reflection a stupid one, although I still maintain 27/8 tonne takes some going over…(arguably) but I made it, and I can’t go back.
I could say the result tells the tale…nothing happened, but accept things could have been different so as Robbie Nevill once said…C’est la vie.
