Crab.....I read you like a book, mate!

It was a nice try but no cigar! It is amazing how many other fish arose to the bait though....well done!

Seems the some on that small ex-island adjacent to the old country seem to be a bit sensitive to their new next door neighbors......now that water-walking isn't required to gain access to Blighty. Very kind of the UK government to accomodate them by providing an all-weather, rain free means of access to the home counties....have they installed pedestrain turnstiles in the Chunnel yet.....as a means of updating the census figures for immigration into the UK?

Do you reckon one of the byproducts of this new joining of the UK and France will be improved cuisine in Britain and better beer in France? Seems interesting that after all these wars and acrimony between the UK and France.....you now have a land border......not even continental drift could keep you apart....seems it was meant to be. You folks in the UK should get over this petty hostility towards your neighbors and embrace all things French......as I am sure they will embrace all things British.
