That seem to be a problem with the UK in general. Not long ago I went to
Newcastle by ferry from Holland. The qeues at the passport check where
quite long, and I waited about 45 minutes. I found that long, considering
that 95% of the people were German or Dutch (so no issues with visa) and
only came for a long weekend with not much luggage.

At the return trip entering Holland there was no waiting at all, they only
had a quick glimpse at the passports and waved everybody through.

Regards,

Frank
