Striking fishermen

Hearing of the striking fishermen in the English Channel ports, are they affecting the ferry routes? Are the ferries running?

I would prefer to cross the channel by boat next week, but need to know if I should book a Eurotunnel ticket.

Cheers.

I have never struck a fisherman but I have struck a shop worker. I was provoked though. I was just walking around this big DIY store when this weirdo dressed in an orange overall came up to me and asked me if I wanted decking.
It was OK, I got the first punch in.

Didn't the strikes finish several days ago?
Check websites of P&O and Brittany Ferries/Sea France to confirm but I think you'll be okay now

I work in the docks...Its all over. Remember the French will strike at a moments notice so who knows when the next one will be.

Eurotunnel is much more expensive that either P&O or Seafrance and usually the French blockade the Tuneel as well. You have no problems at the moment. I have not heard about any other strikes.
