Ok. But if you are only going for a day trip, then you still have problem, as you can't return directly without giving SB & Customs the required notice, nor can you return via France without giving Customs & Immigration the required notice. Works ok, for an over night trip, but not for a lunch trip.
Incidently, what are the Immigration notification periods? Immigration barely seems to be mentioned on the GAR form, (and aren't required for flights covered by SB.)
