Roadblocks in & around Rouen

[Kristof]

It's that time of year again ... roadblocks at depots in Rouen.

(in French).

Seems like they're blocking te road right through Rouen at the moment

This includes the online map of who's out, and who's low.  Bit too close for comfort, but we've a couple of weeks.

Couple of weeks? I've only got a couple of days

Best I fill up in Portsmouth before we catch the overnight ferry to Caen on Friday me thinks.  Just in case.

Mind you there weren't any problems in the LM area last time so hopefully it'll all be ok.

[Lorry]

The French usually cope, but a full tank should get you there, and then you can worry about getting back, or not as the case may be.

[Barry]

If I can't get back, I don't really care!     

[Kpy]

Strike is over for the time being.

Blimey, that's a possible result (early days, I know!)

Addendum: Can't find any reference to the strike being halted, on the ol' interwebbythingy, as yet.......

[Lorry]

Supplies should be back to normal by the weekend.  Not much in our area affected anyway. but its an excuse to put the prices up

[cja]

Good news about the supply.

The usual rolling of eyes, about the price...... 

[Kristof]

Didn't have any problems going through Rouen yesterday. No roadblocks, no gas stations without supplies

[lynxd67]

There is no talk of a shortage here at Le Mans, although they are thinking of reducing the race to 12 hours if there is a problem

[Rhino]

I've usually passed out by then anyway
