We tried to beat the blockade and escape to France this morning, before things got really serious down at Aldi. Bloke down the [take-away] pub sold us a boat for cash and said "it will be easy mate, there's no security on the French border". Damn liar.
The bloody French were out in force and absolutely made sure no illegals were getting in, (although we did see others coming the other way) however they did call us a taxi-boat service (0800 MUGS is the number apparently), and this firm turned up to collect us despite our protests.
They brought us back, flung us in the Dorchester Hotel - where we are stuck for few months and can't even spend the money they loaded onto our free credit cards.
A lawyer came and I tried to show them my passport so that they can let us go, and he looked shocked - told me to throw it away quick. WTF? Now I'm left with just a load of other claim forms to fill in, and 'helpful' people who just don't want us to leave now we are here.
What a miserable Christmas.
This was taken by a Guardian reporter in another boat, said he will try and get us into Lilly Allen's gaff. I told him to **** right off.
