Passport dilemma for secret holiday

I travelled to France for Le Mans the other year on my driving licence alone as i'd forgotten my passport. We went by ferry, we were told at the port that it was at the discretion of the French immigration officer in the destination port. One phone call to him and he let me in.

That has almost never been a problem - it's coming back in past the UK immigration authorities that would be.
