Many of the French roadsigns are still upside down. The farmers did this a couple of years ago to highlight their grievances and disputes with the French government. But now they still have not been righted mainly because nobody wants to be seen, ‘crossing the line’. The job should be done by the local council workers but they are as bolshy as the farmers. The only way Macron will get them righted is by bringing in the military. Until then you may have to rely on your satnav or stand on your head.

Two ships from the Brittany Ferries fleet in Cherbourg. Neither are ready to be replaced any time soon but both need a bit of TLC especially the cabins of the Barfleur. Must admit I had long retired from the road when they were launched so took my lorry on neither of them. It’s good to see though that Brittany Ferries are running a winter schedule from Poole to Cherbourg this year. First time for a long time but unfortunately not using the Barfleur.
