Operation Stack has been put back in place:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/7289970.stm
So from Maidstone services (M20J8) to Ashford (M20J9) we will have to use the A20. This will add at least 10 mins to the flit from the Maidstone services to Eurotunnel. I suggest we should leave Maidstone services by 06:45 at the latest, so early arrival there is advised if you want to re-fuel, have brekker etc. Not forgetting the briefing!
Umm as I’m meeting you lot down in Folkestone I’ll be missing the briefing, will this be a major issue?
Only if your leading ;)
no it wont be but you will have to see someone to get briefed when we meet you
ooh I missed the bit about a briefing…are you guys going to pick us up at box…and we all go to maidstone…
Annd Operation Stack is off according to my mate who comes in from that way 
Go to bed Jim!!! We need you bright eyed tomorrow
