The store sounds *wonderful!* ;o) --Sue, a long ways away from any Jersey, old or new COMMENT Dear Sue, if our "omniscient" politicians [short-sghted SoB's!] hadn't been so stupid as to allow one ferry Operator to have a monoploy of the Sea Route to the UK - leading to monopoly-level prices, we would probably have a much larger number of "shopping daytrippers" than we do. We have the most expensive sea-ferry fares in the whole of Europe! I can travel & return between Dover & Calais cross-Channel, ten times; - for the cost of one trip Jersey-UK-Jersey. Asa result, most of the "blue-collar" population have become "economic prisoners" here. God be with you wherever you are!
