Back in 2000 I took my family by hoovercraft from UK to Calais. We were hungry when we arrived in France, so I drove all the way to Brugge Belgium to eat.
When our two young sons asked why we couldn't eat in France, I told them about not letting our planes over-fly on the way to Libya, and how none of us would spend one dime in France.
I'm not certain I grasp your meaning.
