Just arrived back in UK after using Speed ferries. The terminals are still under refit and food was very limited, as it was onboard. I have to say it is a very cheap service and the old adage of you get what you pay for does seem to fit the bill. Going out we were an hour ish late boarding so 1 1/2 hours late departing, but coming back we were bob on time. As for the ferry itself, well it goes, relatively quickly, so for an hour on board, at the very cheap rate it appears good value for money, especially as it takes an hour off sailing time and an hour off driving, 10 hours travelling after leaving Dover is better than 12. I don't tend to use on board ladies as one or two comments from ladies leaving put me off but the toilets at both Dover and Boulogne were spotless. Have used them 3 times in all now, relatively happy with service.

Hi, i have just signed up to Living france and having read through all the replies, everyone seems so friendly out there. We have a plave 5 minutes from St Jean de duras in Lot et Garonne in a hamlet called Mouyne on the d19. We have owned the house for 3 years[:D] and come to France every school holiday. We have 3 years, 3 months, 26 days, 14 hours, 20 mins etc etc etc  left in the UK before we can move permanantly, not that I'm counting. Is there anyone out there near us???
