playwright, screen writer, living between London and Southern France. 'The mistress of comic anguish' according to Michael Billington. Also likes cooking, and Bedlington Terriers.
2 days in an electric car, 4 times a year, with a Bedlington Terrier on your lap saps the life out of you..

I suspect the reason is that they can't be arsed to install the necessary pet passport / rabies vacc. checks at each side. You pay extra to take your dog on The Shuttle, even though they're just sitting in your car. I imagine this pays for the service.

If they took dogs, we'd take it all the time. You can take the dog all the way from Calais to Marseille on the train, but you can't take her on the Eurostar. For 'hygeine reasons.' Hence the 2 day drive next week.

Ok, the heads are weird. Also the fact that it's a dentist's chair. But the shopping baskets..? And the TURTLE?
