This is why Europeans think we're scum.
I watched a video on the channel tunnel a couple of days ago and for some reason I read some of the comments. One of them was that the UK was worried about the possibility of rats coming from France through the tunnel but it turned out to be OK because those that did ate some English food and went straight back to France
The real reason for the concern about animals coming through the chunnel was rabies, of course, but the comment amused me.
Mushy peas are traditional with everything. They're a form of pease pottage, which goes back a long way.
