Travelling tomorrow

[AtW]

I'm sure you'll be fine though

Maybe I should take you with me as an insurance policy.

Fancy getting some chocolate from Brussels?

That's very kind but maybe you could just bring me a bag of chips - hold the mayo. Oh, and a lager. Ta.

Seriously - is this an exciting business trip? Conference?

It's a business trip but it won't be exciting for sure

They'd better serve Stella in their pubs

Their brown beers are nice but maybe also Oranjeboom (think that may be a Dutch one actually)

Asking for stella is probably like asking for Fosters in Australia.

Try something you can't buy in tescos, and preferably something served in a strange glass.

Eurostar is great and you are only in that opressive, crushing death trap under the channel for 20 mins.

Yeah, right. I took my kids to Eurodisney a while back. On the way back the train stopped in the middle of the tunnel. And I mean stopped, stopped. For about an hour and an half. The dependable Euro staff came on the tannoy to advise that we were stuck because the train in front had broken down, blocking the exit. And they helpfully added that to conserve power they would be switching the lights off.

I think someone might have reminded them that this train from Eurodisney was full of young kids who would probably not take too well to having the lights switched off, because the lights stayed on. Meanwhile my young son was absolutely convinced that another train was going to take us in the rear, and that we were goners. It was just a very unpleasant experience. It might have been sensible if they had moved us into the emergency tunnel - but they didn't.

We arrived back at Waterloo in time to catch the last train out of London, on the very same evening that England had just won a major footie match - so the place was brimming with footie supporters who had had a bit too much to drink. It wasn't a very pleasant journey, and we were very glad when we finally got home.

So all the stories recently about the Eurotrain not breaking down in the tunnel were kack. If we couldn't go forward they could have pulled us back to France - they didn't. We were stuck right in the middle of the tunnel.
