Doing the get-out in Plymouth we were parked next to a big truck. And we could easily image what our name would look like on a big truck.
I took the Eurotunnel, which has become very clever since I last took it. Last time I had to punch in my reservation code to get a letter to hang from my rearview mirror. This time, I pulled up at the check in booths and the machine automatically displayed my name. It must scan my licence plate or something, and I found it very clever and efficient.
Then again, I love the Eurotunnel. I think it's a fantastic piece of engineering. But I think I've mentioned that before...
