Love how the BBC feels the need to post...

Train traffic through the Channel Tunnel, which links England and France

...because I for one always thought it linked England and Germany.

Considering some forum members don't know which year 9/11 occured, you can't really blame the BBC...

Some 32 people - all of them said to be lorry drivers - were evacuated through a "safety tunnel".

Why is safety tunnel in speach marks? Seems to be a strange thing to emphasize....

PK!

Not the first time, and I'm sure it wont be the last.

The tunnels under the Channel were featured on 'How do they do that' just last week and the evacuation procedure was discussed. Maybe someone saw the program and thought they'd test the theory.

Thing is a lot of people around the world visit the BBC news website, and probably a lot of people who are not british or french don't know that the Eurotunnel is the tunnel that links england with France

Sorry, but no matter where you're from being a bit thick isn't an excuse.

You will be surprised.. a girl in work thought Nelson Mandella was a boxer, and another girl thought he was the Cuban president..... I'll ask them tomorrow where they think the Eurotunnel is

Once long ago, back in 2000 [/dmpoole] a girl next to me in Geography class had her hand up to ask the teacher a question. I offered my help but she replied "no, you are far too stupid to know", with scorn. I pulled an unimpressed face and returned to my work.

The teacher came over to ask what the matter is and the girl asked "yeah, where is the UK?". Oh my!

I used to have plenty of those moments. It destroys the soul doesn't it?

For some people geography isn't a priority.
