Late yesterday afternoon I arrived at the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone.
As I came down the slip road I could see there was a queue,all in one lane,but as I approached the back of the queue a Eurotunnel guy was adjusting the signs on the overhead gantry to show that trucks should make two lines,and he waved me past into the second lane,which was empty.
As I drove up the lane,a French truck from Transalliance pulled out in front of me and blew his horn and shook his fist at me,so I stopped and informed him that there were now two lanes open,and carried on.
As I approached the front of the queue a silver Scania from Moody International pulled across in front of me and I had to brake hard to avoid him,even though I was only going about25mph.
He then changed lanes and I drew up alongside him.I had my window open and he was calling me a Belgian ‘Merchant Banker’ and what he wasn’t going to do to me was nobody’s business!
So,I casually leaned out of the window and informed him,quite politely,that I wasn’t Belgian but British,and if he wanted to take the matter further then he was quite welcome to try!
The look on his face was a picture 
I know it’s annoying when someone is trying to jump a queue,but I was instructed to go down the empty lane.What should I have done? Informed the Eurotunnel guy that ‘I would rather not use the empty lane thank you,for fear of upsetting someone’.
Anyway,I thought Moody had been closed down for bent running?
It seems these cowboy operators with their big flash motors are above the law,I can think of another fridge outfit from Liverpool who are just as bad.
As soon as they know the Ministry are about to pounce,they put the company in their wife or daughters name
