don't usually join in grumbling on the forum about aco, ticket agencies, ferry companies, etc. but in this case i'm gonna make an exception and get mine in early.
got my booking confirmation through today from brittany ferries and for portsmouth / caen return (incl cabins admittedly) they want £586 for a standard car. if you are still waiting for your bf confirmation then sit down before opening.
i thought £450 this year was a pisstake - especially as my effing car broke down before i even got through douane at caen but that's a whole other grumble. newhaven / dieppe come on down.
and now to cancel out this grumble i can heartily recommend the amazing dvd of 'rendezvous' from spiritlevel films. seem to remember a mate of rusty's buying the rights in the uk. if you haven't seen it get it and prepare to be amazed. i don't really care if it is a fraud or not, but if it isn't that guy must have titanium bollocks with a kevlar sack.
keep the faith.
