A Happy and Merry Christmas from Dover to all mudcatters.

Spare a thought for all those who work through the Christmas holidays.

Here in Dover we have thousands of drivers stuck in their vehicles awaiting virus tests before they can travel to France. They all expected to be back home for Christmas but that is not going to happen.
We also have approximately 1100 soldiers sent to Kent to help with the testing.
We have extra police officers from further afield sent here to help manage the traffic problems.

Dover port is a 24 hours 7 days a week operation throughout the year. Christmas day was always a day when there were no sailings. Not the case this year,they have arranged for sailings to try and clear the backlog.

A Happy Christmas to all those workers worldwide who keep things going for the rest of us.
