    Driving to Germany

    According to google route map this can be done from London in around 7 hours. Anyone done this? Timing seems optimistic at best. Any real world experience?

    Sounds OK to the Belgium/German border.

          Depends how fast you go.

          I've made it from Calais to the Nürburgring in ~4 hours before, so about 3 hours to get to the border.

          However I've also done the same trip and spent 2 hours just getting round the Brussels Ring Road.
          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

            We did from the Hook of Holland to Essen in approximately just over 2 hours.
            Obeyed the speed limits where designated then cranked it up to 140mph on the Autobahn. (I wasn't driving and I was a bit scared to say the least...even worse, nutters screaming past us at 180mph+)
            Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

              It takes me about 7 hours from Darmstadt to London. From Köln to Calais its about 3-4 hours but driving through Belguim is so boring. Make sure you tank up and then just put on the cruise control at 130 and keep going.
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
