    Have you ever taken a cross channel ferry in windy weather? We went once at Easter, it wasn’t even particularly windy and the place was like that scene from The Meaning of Life – in the case of the bogs I am seriously not joking. Being a boat there was a lip under the door of course so the entire floor was covered in puke to a depth of a few inches which slopped this way and that as the boat rolled. Matched by the puke in all the blocked sinks. Puke EVERYWHERE – on deck, on the floor in the lounges, everywhere.

    Dover calais will be fine. I believe the phrase is mtfu 😉

    I once went on the Santander to Plymouth ferry with a big storm going on in the bay of biscay and they asked us not to go on deck as there was a risk of waves washing over ! Decks of ferries are what, 45 ft above normal sea level.

    Phah, if they’re running you’ll be fine, if there’re not you’ll not be going anywhere sharpish.. Tried EuroStar/Chunnel..?

    Most ferries are F11 rated, if it’s that then they’ll send the cargo ferries so long as it isn’t X-On..

    Food might just be free if it’s bumpy..
