I think the hangover is particularly bad today.
You did very well getting from an encounter Thursday night in Turin to chatting with customs on Saturday morning, you must have a really fast truck.

It is quite simple. Limey Phil is Toby 123 and has just woken up, the 58 immigrants in the Dutch fridge happened over 10 years ago

Yes, no doubt he told the BAG where to get off somewhere on the way back too
having visions of a movie now,there was no stopping kris kristofferson in convoy either 
limeyphil is the “rubber duck”
All those years I did continental work and it never once occurred to me that you can wriggle out of any problem whatsoever simply by saying “I’m not paying, I’m English”.

Used to be plain ole HM Customs + Uk immigration didnt it ?
As for not getting checked leaving the country - used to get stopped regularly before boarding the shuttle, put in the X ray many a time even with an empty trailer .
Looking back, i suppose it looked iffy going out empty.
would these weekly updates not be better in the euro forum where all those boys on euro work could do with all this valuable info from our intrepid reporter ? there may be boys on there not aware of how to escape driving bans,paying/not paying fines,customs procedures etc and whatever next weeks pearls of wisdom may be.

Limeyphil’s posts should be stickies, I have never met a driver more skilled in dealing with the Authorities.
