That's the part I don't quite get: it says he was swimming to the UK???

(A somewhat related sidenote, Russian word for "flippers", as in what mammals have, is also the correct word for swimming/diving fins. Which makes it even more grating when people use the word for fishes' fins instead. And they do, of course.)

He was attempting to swim to the UK, but obviously only made it 3 miles north of Calais with probably another 20 odd miles to go.

I think Ken may have been referring to our pending Brexit debacle at the end of October.

Yeah, I'm aware. My ex moved to Germany earlier this year and is even considering selling her London flat. We chat on skype every once in while. :wink:

Isn’t it implied that the person who did this was trying to get illegally in the UK ?
