Ah but it does.

Brittany Ferries do not have many cabins where a dog is allowed. They sell out very quickly. You could raise a family in the time it takes to do searching on their poorly designed website. If only you could search on : dog friendly cabin, England ( any port) , Spain ( any port) month. Show availability.

Then if we secured one, they have a habit now of consolidating, cancelling or moving from Portsmouth to Plymouth.

Then there is the uncertainty once there of what date we could return on. Not a problem for a channel crossing and driving overland.

Biscay crossing in Autumn could be rough passage.

HTH.

I suspected that was where you were going... Either they don't have enough capacity, or too many people are running around willy nilly. And every single person thinks that they are circumstatially the exception. But if your choice is travelling direct or not travelling, then whilst you wouldn't choose to cross the Bay of Biscay in late autumn, it might be your only option.

But on the one hand people are insisting on wearing masks indoors at home whilst others are merrily swanning around the country.

You could always fly home. With the dog. And stick the car on whichever ferry is running. https://www.petairuk.com/how-can-we-help/airlines/which-airlines-carry-pets/

And not the slightest tinge of regret. If there was it wouldnt be over something utterly trivial like the cost of using a mobile phone when on hollibobs.  ::) :)
Yet people are moaning about it.  Especially those that voted for it.

Switch to Three, they have free roaming to 70 odd countries worldwide.  :y
Isn't that like poking yourself in the eye?  At least the main networks in the UK have UK coverage ;D

I've been with Three for years and the only time I've had signal problems was in deepest darkest Deben.  :)

I have a PAYG Three SIM, and coverage in England is appalling, similar to GSM in the 1990s ;D

I've been with Three for fifteen years, yes fifteen years, and never, ever had a problem. That includes in the wilds of the Yorkshire Dales and in London.
