That was World War III lost, an economic one this time.
    Doesn't matter how many times you tell 'em what the plan is. The won't believe you.

    I wish someone would fix the British railways. We don't have an extreme climate and the trains can be kept pretty full in our densely populated country... should be able to slash prices and keep it afloat.
