Dear Sue,
if our "omniscient" politicians [short-sghted SoB's!] hadn't been so stupid
as to allow one ferry Operator to have a monoploy of the Sea Route to the UK -
leading to monopoly-level prices, we would probably have a much larger number
of "shopping daytrippers" than we do.
We have the most expensive sea-ferry fares in the whole of Europe! I can
travel & return between Dover & Calais cross-Channel, ten times; - for the
cost of one trip Jersey-UK-Jersey. Asa result, most of the "blue-collar"
population have become "economic prisoners" here.
God be with you wherever you are!
Yours in Service,
Matthew
