And as I hit the submit button I suddenly remembered...

About 8 years ago our clogging team went to France (from the UK to put it in perspective) and on our way back stocked up the boot (trunk) of the car with garlic and local soft cheeses and other irrelevant souvenirs - to say nothing of sweaty socks and grubby costumes.

OK so far, but this is a very very hot weekend, a long car journey and a long ferry trip...

Guess who got stopped for a check at the customs on entry? Except that the officer who asked to see in the back of the car lifted the lid about 2 inches - and shut it again in a hurry! No further checks for contraband (not that there was any) but I have to say the cheese nearly made its own way home!
