new updates:
- people who want to donate food and drinks to the drivers are turned away from the airport's gate.
- drivers report that there is not enough of portaloos, the queues make social distancing impossible and most of them are already overflowing

[beanheadmcginty]

Unlike the Germans to have misleading descriptions of things.

French are cruising for a bruising. May as well go all in at this point.

Polish troops deployed to Kent.

Hope they bring plentiful supplies of stockings and chocolate Zywiec and Perla. And those crisps they have.

We fought off the Boche but I welcome the borscht
