EuroStar cheers me up.

[Lord Braykewynde]

Having seen on the news of the EuroStar trains breaking down made me think.

They were breaking down because of adverse weather in France and not because of the wrong kind of snow in Blighty. What's more this rolling stock failure can be blamed on someone else because they weren't built or developed here hence no blame on British manufacturing or technology :O)

On this bitterly cold day it sure warms the cockles of my heart ... heh! heh! heh!

Good job they dont have this Water

 

[machighlander]

what in the name was he saying ?.

 

[Lord Braykewynde]

Ahhhh, the reason for the breakdowns was because the snow was fluffier than usual ... LMAO.

 

[Sproket]

Ah-so its nothing to do with which way it spins going down the plughole then ....clockwise or anti clockwise...

Its just fluffy snow (
