Did You Know You Can’t Take Flowers In The Channel Tunnel?
I was thinking about taking some to a friend in The Netherlands, but I’ve found out you can’t take them.
It’s all to do with the fact that as the Channel Tunnel is below sea level, the negative pressure causes the petals to drop off. It’s the same if you’re in a train or in the Shuttle.

Branson Goes Short Haul
It would appear that Virgin Atlantic want to set up a short haul airline from Heathrow, according to reports like this.
Now with a lack of runway capacity at the airport, surely we don’t want short-haul flights, but long-haul ones!
Especially, as the Channel Tunnel and its trains are not running at full capacity.
But then if an airline wanted to run trains from London to Paris, the French would probably find a way to block it.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
