• Great British fry-ups are back on Eurotunnel's menu thanks to British truckers' objections to lightweight Continental breakfasts.
Le Shuttle is serving beans, bacon, eggs, chips and even omelettes after British drivers used its comment slips to ask for more traditional food.
But Eurotunnel, which also has to keep croissant-loving Continental truckers happy, is playing down the change, pointing out that it is continuing to offer lighter food as well.
"We've not had real complaints, just gripes," says a spokeswoman.
Furotunnel opted for a Great British Compromise amid fears that French and Italian drivers might think they were being ignored. "We have to consider that we're an international form of access between the UK and the Continent," the spokeswoman says.
