its always a gamble with a 69 after a good curry.

If you spend most of your driving life on the continent you need to adjust to their way of doing things.
Brussels Ring traffic? Is it worse than traffic in other cities by and large? M25,M60.Paris.Bordeaux.
German road Works.Have been continuing for years with upgrading.Our smart motorway upgrades are a pain.Rarely see cones in France and Spain.Maybe they construct their roads better in the first place.I wish French tarmac layers would ply their trade in Yorkshire.
There are alternatives to going round Paris other than the Periphique.You may not like the French eating habits but they are very civilised.You know when they dine all over the country so plan your day to eat at the same time they do.Overnighting in a French Routiers is ideal.
Sunday(and weekend)driving bans are a pain but if you are going to be affected,try to spend it in a civilised location not a roadside layby.Most French towns and villages have a space allocated for truck parking.Try the language and circulate a little and you will be surprised at how people reciprocate.
Many years ago I broke down in a big place (Rennes)before the current roads existed for 2 days.I was more or less adopted by some old ladies who kept bringing me food and drink.
Ignore our politicians and media,most people get along fine.
I agree Gidders and maybe I didn’t make my point very well.
The OP is reluctant to try Eurowork because of the Calais news gleaned from various sources and I am just trying to put Calais into perspective especially after recent news headlines.
What would I say if anyone were to ask me what was the worse part of my trip, it would never be Calais but more likely to be one of the items described above particularly when it was all new to me, if anything at all.
Calais or indeed any of the Channel ports are a bit of a PIA these days but doing as Mazzer does and getting the “shopping” a bit earlier and it’s usually a non event really.
The M25, M4, M6, M1 and, and, and…now they can bring a man to tears most days especially after a few thousand generally free running clicks in Euroland.
Coming home via Calais is only a tiny part of the Euro work scene which has plenty of other challenges but is so much more rewarding than tramping at home.
The only downside I can think of was already said by Franglais is it may not suit family life very well.
Now can you give me a few more details of that ■■■■■■■■■■■■ and I’ll try and get there before DD.
The only time that I came close to illegals was at the port of Patras , Greece.
Unlike at the channel ports , at many other ferry ports you have to park and go to the booking offices for your ferry operator to pay the port charges and for second drivers or passengers .
On returning to the truck we encountered illegals with planks of wood and rope who were about to go under the truck .
All a bit pointless as all the trucks go through an inspection area before boarding the ferry .
