Subject: RE: German Mudcatters get-together Part 2
NO FOOD OR DRINK! Thats exactly what I asked P&O who feel that the Dutch are being just a little bit too enthusiastic, we also have to drive through a disinfectant thing-what's on your feet(ie traces of mud or other substances) is irrelavent, unless we have to walk through something?

I'm glad that we are not (my lot and I) on our bicycles for another 3 months, because we need to carry liquid with us for the kids. I am just repeating what I was told by P&O. NOTHING edable or drinkable, I personally feel it's a load of rubbish, as the virus can be carried on clothes and all sorts of other things from what I hear. How a bar of chocolate, a carton of drink, even a bottle of beer can carry it I don't know.Surely anything prepackaged at the point of origin must be safe. After all, there are container loads of stuff going through all the European ports every day.

One good thing, they might disinfect melodians with a flamethrower-Ouch Pat, that hurt!!

It applies to everyone who goes through the ports, so it's not anti UK, but heavy protection I guess.

Just think this time tomorrow, and one week hence we'll be sailing out of the Humber and well on our way!!!!
