Update on Palingbeek 3

From the line I sent an email to Eurotunnel customer services to complain about the lack of information and the long wait to get home.  I didn't expect a reply for a few days.

On September 28th they emailed.

"I am sorry to learn of the difficulties you experienced whilst travelling with our service on the 15th September . From the information you have provided, I regret that I have not been able to locate a ticket booked in your name. In order for us to respond in more detail could you please provide us with the booking reference number of the journey concerned."

They couldn't find my name on their booking system for that day? If I was called Smith, then maybe I could accept that..... but I have a rather rare surname - Devall.

Once home from Assen I made a screenshot of my booking reference and sent it to them.


Result.

They replied this morning to offer me a £33 credit note. That's what I paid for this trip, so not quite a staggering refund, but better than nothing. It does mean that I have to run the gauntlet again of them being late and or cancelled!

Crappy Finish

Have to say disappointed with the finish on my 15 Roadster. Not really an all weather rider nowadays.  Wheels are corroded and look like shit and the chrome bits and bobs all surface rusted. Have always washed down after a salty road outing. The TEX I had before had its recall problems but the finish far more robust. Never had these problems so soon even on a modern Suzuki! It doesn't seem like the wheels are coated, just bare metal by th level of corrosion.  The surface rust blights the suspension caps and even the chrome cover for the rear brake master cylinder looks more like rust with some chrome. At least the engine finish looks good.

Don't Ride Angry

Never ride angry. It leads to mistakes. For some unknown reason people in England have this urge to travel. That's not a problem. What is the problem is that no sooner has the final bell of the summer term/semester rung,  like lemmings they are in their cars and motorhomes  (RV) and heading on their summer holiday. Why? Most kids won't be back in their classrooms until September 6th or even 7th!! To coincide with this exodus, small 'e' as the waves don't part for them , after some terrorist activity in France (not to mention our vote to leave the European Union) the French boeufed up their ridiculously slap dash border control. Traffic was queued back on the M20 for about 15 miles. Three lanes and then two.... The A2 into the port two lanes for about 7 miles. Add to that both roads closed due to the inevitable accidents and a rare truck fire, and you have CHAOS. People trapped for upto 14 hours.  It later turned out that ...
