And do you tip the coffee away as soon as you've bought it?

Nothing to do with cost at all, it's simply about being treated like a gullible mug but crack on if you want to..

What a load of hot air over a couple of £1 stickers , hardly a hassle , you spend more on a coffee at the port 🙄

A cut and paste
The change from GB to UK is aimed at being inclusive of Northern Ireland.

GB – Great Britain – does not include Northern Ireland. The full name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland – with the GB representing Scotland, England and Wales.


It's not a big deal in France or here, just the cost of a £1.50 sticker.

And, of course, any number plates with the letter K immediately followed by G will have to be re-made with 'l' and 'b' in the same position and used when driving in the EU.

This is British jingoism at its very worst. As some have posted, the French couldn't give a flying ****.

Correct. No one cares about stickers on number plates. The French find the whole thing hilarious.

Vests and headlights are important; very important and you should not ignore this, but the french don't give a hoot whether a sticker says GB or UK, as Jon says the ever so hard working, forward thinking mastheads of our little island deemed this to be necessary, but no one else cares! Not arguing but it's no big deal, trust me, I've driven 100k miles around all of France..

It's a new rule that has been brought in by the British government. I'd imagine the French police are either unaware of it or couldn't care less, but as Bob days, for peace of mind and not much money ....

I hear what you say BUT !!!!!!!!!!! You dont want to be the one that gets pulled if they have a purge
years ago I went on a Dover ferry to France and it was taking forever to get off it ?

it turned out the big layby just outside had a spot check on HEADLIGHTS !! and reflective vests
it was broad daylight but they were checking the cars to see if you had converters on those that didnt were not allowed to go until they went in the big supermarket opposite and bought converters ! not sure if they were fined or not ?
as I had a set on my car because my partner at the time was German and I used to go to Germany regularly and just left them on never took em off
yes its extremely rare bit like this bait business you have people saying yea no problem they ont care I went straight thru while other have had bait confiscated

An opportunity to cut and paste my other post

I wouldn't.
If there's a chance, even if it's only a slim chance I'd worry about getting caught.
Too many chancers about and they seem to get away with it, sod's law if you or I done it we'd be the ones to get caught.

Why bother for the cost of £1.38
