    I hope they are NOT getting a lot of "RUST" from the trains and tracks otherwise there will be huge SAFETY issues to be addressed? :eek: (Meant humorously, not seriously :) )

So anyone Under 30 that has reached Europe may be given passports and a one-way ticket into Britain, all "legal"...

    "Oxford Lollipop" sounds like an Olympic event move, similar to the "Fosbury Flop"! :) Have you seen Bike magazines character "Ogri"? In the comic he put Truck lights on his motorbike coz he wasn't getting noticed by cars.
