Not Dover - Bristol Temple Meads/Parkway to Paddington, Paddington to St Pancras on the tube (Circle/Hammersmith&City), St Pancras to Brussels on Eurostar.
My experience was that, to Grenoble, the journey time was similar once you factor in the fact that I'm on completely the wrong side of Bristol for the airport so it's a minimum 1/2 hr journey time (compared to a quick hop to Parkway station), the extra time in the airports (you don't have to check in an hour or more before departure for a train), waiting at baggage reclaim, sorting out a hire car at the other end, then 2-3 hours of driving to get from Geneva to Grenoble (no direct flights outside of ski season). Both of them worked out at about 8 hours.

I'd go the other way around - you don't have the 100 ml restrictions for hand baggage, plus no waiting at baggage reclaim at the other end - just walk out with all your stuff.
Well, it was just a suggestion.

Oh ok haven't made that journey, and many years ago since going in a car
with my family on the Eurostar to France. Or from Dover over to France or
Belgium via the ferrys even.

I am about an hour maybe about 45 minutes depending on traffic, from that
air port, via car or taxi, so not that near as well. Bristol Parkway is
about half an hour in a car/taxi or on a particular bus that doesn't go
that often, so not near as well in a way.

No, but trains can get delayed or missed, resulting in having to wait
longer at the train station
sorting out a hire car at the other end, then 2-3 hours

If going to Brussels or Geneva or some where like that and via car, then
surely its better really to go all the way via car, and the Eurostar or
ferryr?

That's ok to suggest, and if this email comes up with the wrong to name,
it's since a email client issue.

Hi
As mentioned to this mailiing list before the plan is to have another two
events next year in Bristol for Linux Presentation Day (
http://linux-presentation-day.org http://linux-presentation-day.org.uk ).
I have one confirmed other organiser so far, or so it seems, but not sure
about anyone else, and if you would like to help organise or just on the
day or mostly, etc, and in what kind of ways you would like to help with
the event as well. Please get back to me properly on list or off list, as
soon as possible, if you are interested. Then we may even have a
organisers/helpers meeting next month before the LUG meeting even, with the
event itself in late April probably on the 29th. Please read previous
email from last week to this mailing list for more general event
information. Our mailing list also gets archieved.
Best Regards
Sebastian
P.S
If the email to name is wrong, its since a email client issue.

No, unless you're taking a car-load of stuff with you. There's no way a car can compete with a 300 kph TGV...
Plus, if you drive all the way you end up knackered at the end, and there's the safety aspects to consider.
And, given that I was going on business, I'd like to see my boss' face when I put in a mileage expenses claim for 1500 miles at 45p/mile... :)
