How much does it cost for you to visit France?
At them prices, I wonder if it's worth just buying yourself a really cheap boat to ferry yourself back and forth.

Stay where you are. We have enough foreigners.

Well last minute you're going to get screwed anyway. Just go to France, it's nicer.

If you are an EU national , you do not need to show your national ID card or passport when you are travelling from one border-free Schengen EU country to another.1 car + 1 adult £280 (but my passport ran out

UK is not a border-free Schengen country.

You can play games like try to spot another local or try find someone that speaks English when you're out at night..

Well....
The Condor Liberation (apparently the only boat/ship running this route?) is propelled by 3 x MTU 8000 M71L engines that use 2072 litres of diesel per hour.
Covering the (roughly) 84 nautical miles from St Peter Port to Poole at the vessel's given speed of 39 knots, each engine will consume 4,465 litres of diesel which, at commercial prices of £1.12 per litre , costs 3 x £5,000.80.
So that's £15,002.40 in fuel alone.
Add on reasonable salaries for all the crew, any docking fees, maintenance costs, insurance (which, given the ship's history and reputation, is likely to be pretty hefty!) and all teh other running expenses, you're looking at quite a lot more...
However...
I just had a look on CondorFerries.co.uk and, inputting the same info there, looks to be offering me a return on the same dates for £181.
So who are you booking passage with and do they include a 'happy ending' or something?

That because you choose UK to Guernsey and only one way ..
With a return on Monday your fare would be £347
