Ah yes - the excellent SeaCats. Used them on the Dover-Oostende route and for £15 extra you got priority loading and unloading, a free meal and a guaranteed table in 1st class. But the idiots at Hoverspeed closed the route and tried to compete on the Dover-Calais run instead. So instead of a decent break of about 2 hours, it's now a queue for the Tunnel, sit in the car for 30 minutes, then an hour across northern France just to get back to the Jabbeke highway - and why drive past the tunnel just to get the 'Cat? To Room 101 with Hoverspeed, I say!

Unless, of course, you're driving a yank tank running on bottled fart fuel!
