Bet Suni Williams is well impressed….
What better way to commemorate the end of WW2 in Europe than to let people spend another 2 hours in the pub getting tanked up?

I wasn't even asked on arrival back in the UK on Friday after a trip to see Paris - Roubaix.EU Cheese & Meat Ban
Travellers have not been allowed to bring back items such as cured meat and cheese, including in sandwiches, since Saturday due to the growing outbreak on the continent. The restrictions apply regardless of whether the goods are packed or packaged, or bought from duty free.
It follows an earlier ban of similar products from Germany, Hungary, Slovakia and Austria after rising cases of the cattle disease in those countries.
The restrictions apply to people arriving in Great Britain, not Northern Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey, or the Isle of Man. Products will be seized and destroyed if people try to bring them in, and in "serious cases" people could be fined up to £5,000.

I had taken the precautions of stashing the saucissons and fromage in the spare wheel well and stashing Mrs Celine's gorgonzola smelling trainers in the roofbox as a diversion.
Like all the 'taking back control' nonsense there is no one to actually enforce any restrictions.
Some years ago, our car was searched on leaving the UK; Felixstowe IIRC. Which was an odd experience.I would agree, there is seldom anyone there to enforce the rules. However, I did have an amusing (to me) encounter with officialdom, some years ago. Returning from a trip (Portugal I think it was), in our MX5, we were pulled out the boarding line, at Calais, and, car searched. The operator, told us they were looking for smuggled dogs. Quite where they thought we were going to hide a dog, in an MX5 was not explained. 😂
The Pope has died... thought I ought to mention it, as it was covered over on BR.
