I've just booked our May '22 trip to France (Stena Line).
The outward journey details: depart 21.00 arrive16.30.
The return journey: depart 21.00 arrive 12.30.
I got my calculator out and checked, it's going to take four hours longer to get there than it is to come home. Same boat, same sea.
This is where someone here explains why, and I end up embarrassed.

There is an hour difference in time between here and France and all times are in local times. So you are really getting there at 15:30 our time, and leaving there at 20;00 our time, as for the rest….. everyone probably in a hurry to get home with the wine 😇

Hold on there....are you saying they sell wine in France? We'll have to check that out when we're there. We've always gone for the culture and architecture, so buying wine never crossed out minds.

I don’t have any firsthand experience of the wine….. but I have heard rumours to that effect 😗😗

When you leave the tide is in, high, so with more water , the surface is longer,and then the opposite when you come home, low tide less water shorter surface.👍

Don't take any notice of all that drivel above they're talking through the end of a wine bottle. The simple truth of the matter is time always speeds up towards the end of a holiday. :-)

All joking about going downhill aside, as well as the time change taking 2 hours out of it, the rest is probably due to prevailing currants.

Feck's sake! If I wasn't confused before, I'm totally done for now! 🤔
I think I'll go with Sprinter's explanation. He is obviously as intellijunt as what I are. Having said that, then why don't soccer matches take longer on a wide screen TV ?

Turning the Tv on it’s end will result in a one sided game, Tony.
