I'd book a place for an article, then turn up on the Brompton. Just to see their faces if nothing else.

Point out that you couldn't book smaller vehicle, your Brompton, so you went with the only option open to you.
If nothing else, it'll get them looking at their booking system. And you'll have a large, clear area in which to park your bike.
How much is by the way, to book an article on? Maybe we could all chip in to help you get home.

What's the cost, and do they keep the promises they're making?

Right, the porchetta-style turkey breast joint is now in the oven. It was just over 2lbs in weight, so that's an hour at 170C fan.
I've turned the crock pot off, and will let the curry cool slightly before decanting into a pyrex.

Quick hour of trying to cram as much stuff as possible into the smaller of the spare rooms to see what that leaves me ahead of the carpet fitters coming next month. It's a bit tight, but I should have just enough room to store the remaining smaller stuff (TV, computer, etc) from downstairs in there and move the wardrobe & contents from the other spare room into my bedroom before they arrive. What may be a problem is clearing the living room furniture into the kitchen and still leaving access to the kettle! Day 2 will be much easier with much more storage space to work with.
I really must have a proper clearout once I put everything back to normal. On one bookcase hidden behind a pasting table (both not used for many years) I found 3 shelves of VHS videos I didn't know I still had - BTCC year reviews from 88-99, F1 year reviews from 81-02, another half dozen motorsport videos and 20 music/concert videos. Also a large box of plugs, power leads, adaptors, various USB and other electrical connector leads.

You take bikes on to the shuttle bus and leave it on the bus during the voyage along with all the foot passengers' luggage.

They don't let you ride onto the ferry?
Nope. You leave the bike on the shuttle bus.

I'm all cooked out. Just taken the turkey joint out of the oven - it smells absolutely fabulous. Just waiting for stuff to cool before shoving in the fridge.
Then tomorrow, all I need to do is cook two gammons.
At this rate, I shall be going stewarding on Saturday in order to relax...

That's most unfair.
Why?
