It was the mention of European fixture lists that did it.
Anyway, make a few breakfast butties up before you go. Wrap them in foil then stuff them around the engine of your truck. Fill the flask and when you arrive at the docks,, Voila hot sarnies and tea. We used to heat the pies up in the air intake of the Snow Trac we had when I worked for the Electric board on the over head lines. Worked a treat.
