It’s a shame we are not allowed bung money or coffee money to the Douanes or customs , a sleeve of Marlborough cigarettes could get you out of trouble and get the wheels rolling.
But didn’t try that with Pinocchio the big nosed Gendarmerie motorcycle cop in Cherbourg who would watch you on binoculars, waiting for UK and Irish trucks coming over the hill, he had a chip on his shoulder with the rumour of a truck who brake tested him and he ran up the back of a trailer.
I don’t know about someone running him into the back of a trailer unless Murphy International wanted to get a double after Ginger in Paris, but Claud (that was P,s name ) died of alcohol poisoning, but apparently, his son has taken over where he left off.
