Ferry tips - Plymouth to Santander

FFS, Border Force do NOT outsource any of their functions. It is the port and the carrier between them who employ Serco (and others) to do these checks. UKBF rarely do any outbound checks.

I believe the post above was referring to the queues in Portsmouth when you disembark on your homeward journey. There are queues. Deal with it. You happily turn up and queue 2 hrs before your ferry leaves because that's what the ferry company says. Same as people wait for an hour for their luggage to appear at an airport. But queue for 20 minute at Border Control and it's the end of the f*****g world, apparently.
Yep, Just think how easy it would be if, instead of the mind-numbing folly of Brexit, we’d joined Schengen.

I well remember the late Thursday night arrivals at Stansted, when the queues were from the unreliable automatic and under-manned normal passport gates through the entire arrivals hall, down the stairs, right through the underground tunnel back to the escalators. That took a great deal more than 20 minutes, I can assure you, and it happened week after week after fucking week.

And everybody moaned, and UKBF just shrugged their shoulders.
 

there's a B&M in Welshpool, just off the bypass next to Tesco. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZAXMufopG1ukwXZb7 You will pass it this morning.
