I Love the French......

[andyrixon]

Just found out from my travel agent that the French Air Traffic Control have decided to have a strike tomorrow... And I'm flying via Paris to see my brother in Atlanta! woohoo....

That gives me, oh about 12 hours to sort out everything to fly instead on friday

Should i try to blag some vouchers or something?

Its about time they built a New York to London road tunnel

Imagine that - a 3000 mile long straight to max your car down

[mikeylad]

And in order to keep it the way we want it, the tunnel should be only 5.5 feet wide and 5 feet tall.

Wilber and hank can keep their caddies and SUV's where they belong thankyou very much.

That would not work out well for the USA as someone from the UK will figure out some sort of new tax for such a tunnel.

Now wait a minute isn't a tunnel the way most illegal immigrants get to the UK from Europe? We have enough problems with illegal immigration as it is.

But there would be cameras every few hundred yards and a 40mph speed limit... it would take about 70 hours non-stop driving.

Would it be cheaper to build a transatlantic bridge than a transatlantic tunnel?

[andyrixon]

Sheesh!

I ask a serious question about how much should i try to blag in terms of extra refund and look what happens.... Transatlantic Bridges etc etc



Very funny though

Will there be a TVR garage so that Cerbies can get serviced half way there?

[cnh1990]

You should at least get a meal out of it, perhaps a nice layover with accomidations at a hotel.

If everyone headed for the east coast with an outboard motor, we could half the distance in less than a month

And we'd put 1500 miles between us and the frogs

I still cant see the downside to this....

Following the completion of this new tunnel, a new one will be built. This one will be a detailed reproduction of pistonheaders favourite B-roads, all linked together to form a series of road 10000 miles in length.

I will personally take charge of this tunnel its use will be on a membership basis only.

Oh, and its only available to the British. The yanks can build their own.

Why of course!
Every 500 miles a specialist performance dealership would be based to help with any problems.
These service areas will also have high speed data links so that pistonheaders could access their favourite web page.
Wet roundabouts would make up a "activity area" for people who are bored of driving through the straight tunnel

[gnomesmith]

If there is to be a straight tunnel I demand, for reasons of equality, a gay tunnel running parallel.
