I thought this country was taking exports seriously. If not, it's surely about time that we did.
When National Carriers organised a press trip to the Continent a couple of weeks back, inquisitive journalists were aghast to be told that the Customs staff at the LIFT international terminal at Stratford finished work soon after 4pm, so goods consigned on NCL's new service to France must be delivered to Stratford before noon to catch that day's trailer.
With a twice-weekly service, it needs little arithmetical skill to calculate the effects on throughout journey times if a consignment is delivered to the LIFT terminal on Monday afternoon, just too late to catch the Monday trailer, when the next goes out on Thursday.
