Dear Camilla Druid Send a noteboard - 21/04/2010 03:27:21 AM
You will recall your recent confident assertion that there was no way you would ever even consider coming to Australia.

We have no volcanoes.

Our airplanes are flying, except to dusty places like Europe.

We have sun. That thing that appears in Edinburgh skies once every three years for ten minutes and frightens the poor Scots.

We have trains that you can get on.

And the place is so big, you never really need to think of going anywhere else.

As you struggle through choking clouds of dust and panic-stricken mobs all trying to push on to Eurostar, you should take a quiet moment to reflect upon the appropriateness of your previously held position on the desirability of coming here.

Yours,

Barry

No, it is the Eurotunnel Shuttle. Eurostar is the passenger service. Tim - 20/04/2010 10:35:09 PM 743 Views
