Has nobody ever told them what a bunch of c**ts they look? Almost make Alexander the Great look heterosexual.

I'd imagine it would take some minerals to tell one of them to his face so that disqualifies 90%+ of the site.

Er no, actually.
Using a freight booking agency it would appear that the Rosslare to Dunkirk service is £1,295 each way for a driver and lorry up to 13 metres long.
A flat rate for goods vehicle whatever sailing you choose, and knowing DFDS those prices are not going to go down any time soon.
Add the VAT on and it is £3,108 total for a return journey.
Rosslare to Fishguard or Pembroke is a quarter of that price.
Dover to Calais is around £210 each way depending on timings.

Not many single owner/operators will be able to swallow those prices.

I was told (and I don't know how true it is) that climate change is affecting France's nuclear power industry quite badly
Apparently lots of them are inland and use river water for cooling, in quite a few cases the flow of those rivers has reduced over the last 10 to 15 years sufficiently to cause cooling water supply issues in French nuclear plants

Liebe Freulein Osterhase- Genug mit deinem eierbeschussOh dearie dearie me
But it gets even better, here is a request from a citizen:
Request under the IFG/UIG/VIG
Dear...
please send me the following:
- what parliamentary control is Eurogendfor subject to in Germany?
- in what way is it ensured that Eurogendfor troops in Germany comply with German law?
- to which German command structures are the Eurgendfor troops subordinated when deployed in Germany?
This is an application for access to official information pursuant to section 1 of the Act Governing Access to Federal Information (IFG) as well as section 3 of the Environmental Information Act (UIG), as far as environmental information within the meaning of section 2 para. 3 UIG is concerned, and section 1 of the Act on the Improvement of Health-Related Consumer Information (VIG), as far as information within the meaning of section 1 para. 1 VIG is concerned.
And here is the meaningless and evasive answer:

Dear Ms Osterhage,I acknowledge receipt of your letter 12 August 2020 on European Gendarmerie Force (Eurogendfor).Eurogendfor was founded by France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands. Other members are Romania Poland and Lithuania. Eurogendfor has its headquarters in Vicenza, Italy. No troops are stationed in the Federal Republic of Germany.https://eurogendfor.org/Die European Gendarmerie Force can be placed under the command of the European Union, the United Nations, NATO or the OSCE. Germany is not part of the international military force, as the separation of police and military is enshrined in the Basic Law.
Yours sincerely
Of course, this annoying bitch won't give up:

Dear<< Salutation >>
Thank you for your reply - I already know this information from Wikipedia.
However, this does not answer my question.
Therefore once again - perhaps formulated in a more comprehensible way:
- Should there be - for whatever reason - a deployment of Eurogendfor troops in Germany - how will it be ensured that they comply with applicable German law?
With kind regards
Diana

Dear Ms Osterhage,I acknowledge receipt of your second letter of 12 August 2020 on the subject of Eurogendfor.You write: "Should there - for whatever reason - be a **deployment **of Eurogendfor troops in **Germany **how will it be ensured that they comply with applicable German law?"
In conclusion, I would like to comment on your letter as follows:1.I refer to Article 42 (1) of the European Treaty. It explicitly states:Article 42 The Common Security and Defence Policy is an integral part of the Common Foreign and Security Policy. It shall provide the Union with an operational capability based on civilian and military assets. The Union may draw on these assets for missions **EXTERNAL TO THE UNION ** aimed at peace-keeping, conflict prevention and strengthening international security in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Charter. It carries out these tasks with the help of capabilities provided by the Member States.https://eur-lex.europa.eu/resource.html?uri=cellar:2bf140bf-a3f8-4ab2-b506-fd71826e6da6.0020.02/DOC_1&format=PDF
2.On the subject of Eurogendfor, there is a response from the Federal Government dated 15 January 2016. I refer to the attached link:http://dipbt.bundestag.de/doc/btd/18/072/1807282.pdf
3.Finally, I refer to the Federal Government's answer of July 2014 to Question No. 19:http://dip21.bundestag.de/dip21/btd/18/022/1802210.pdf
Answer to Question No. 19 Answer by State Secretary Dr Markus Ederer dated 21 July 2014EUROGENDFOR has ruled out deployments **within the EU**. **The question of the legal assessment of such a deployment therefore does not arise.** The Federal Government does not participate in EUROGENDFOR.The deployment of EUROGENDFOR within the framework of missions of the Common Security and Defence Policy is possible in principle on the basis of Article 42(3) of the EU Treaty. Such possible participation requires a case-by-case assessment in each case.
In a nutshell: Of course we would never do that, you evil paranoid woman, but if we did, we would of course check the individual case first before doing it in any case.
Does a paramilitary force suffice?
The Vietnamese are going to be mighty peed off when they appear out of their container, blinking in the bright sunlight, to find themselves in Dublin and not Blighty.

Also came from a relative working at Sellafield
There are restictions on the temperature rise that they can cause to the river etc. It's a right pain in summer when flows are low and people want air con on. (Apparently).

My bold, sadly there is more than an element of truth in that statement. We have almost 1 million long term unemployed in this country ..
In some areas we are into the 2nd or even 3rd generation of benefit dependency.
Some obviously are unable to work through health problems but some admit (privately) they wouldn't get out of bed for less than x£ per hour/week, preferably never, being happy to exist as they do now, doing f**k all!
If these were forced to work when jobs were offered or lose ALL benefits, we might start seeing the diminishing of the need for seasonal incomers. These scroungers could use the same accommodation used by the incomers .

I will ask him about that. He is something of a Grate Brane in these matters, even daring to grip a team from Fukoshima (post event) about their shoddy drills (all to do with cooling water as it happens) as well as, in his own time, completely redesigning a something or other that the fFrench had been pissing about with designing for 15 years. He did it in 3 weeks at a saving of £8bn.I was told (and I don't know how true it is) that climate change is affecting France's nuclear power industry quite badly

His expertise is decommissioning and waste management.
Was something several years ago mentioned in idle conversation
Would be curious to know, whatever talents I do or don't have nuclear stuff isn't among them
