I wonder if the Chunnel technically makes Britain a non-island. It is, after all, attached to the mainland by the Chunnel.
Are the Keys still islands?WWGD said:I wonder if the Chunnel technically makes Britain a non-island. It is, after all, attached to the mainland by the Chunnel.
You mean the ones off South Florida? If so, yes, I believe. Why?fresh_42 said:Are the Keys still islands?
The Chunnel is great when it's running but when there is a problem the continent is totally isolated (apart from a few ferries).WWGD said:I wonder if the Chunnel technically makes Britain a non-island. It is, after all, attached to the mainland by the Chunnel.
How will that work out after Brexit becomes ofcial next year?CWatters said:The Chunnel is great when it's running but when there is a problem the continent is totally isolated (apart from a few ferries).
That's a nightmare waiting to happen! I saw in a documentary a few days ago, which amount of goods they actually transport each day back and forth. In the show they had an accident with the overhead power supply in the tunnel which took a couple of hours to repair. Unbelievable! But now 90% are inner European traffic, which need no customs. After Brexit they will have to control every single truck! And as of now, the French deal with the complete custom management (check people, and control non-EU freight). I wonder if they will do after Brexit.WWGD said:How will that work out after Brexit becomes ofcial next year?
It will be even more complicated, because the tunnel is maintained by workers of both countries and they don't really care where the actual border is, and often even work in mixed teams. How will they manage this situation?WWGD said:How will that work out after Brexit becomes ofcial next year?

##\pi\mathrm{sces}##WWGD said:Hey baby, what is the square root of one minus your cosine squared (## sin \theta= \sqrt{ 1-cos^2 \theta} ##)? Or Baby, what is the imaginary part or your polar representation ( ## cos \theta + isin \theta ##)

I have not the slightest idea how to get a ticket. Have you read the sold out times?WWGD said:So, freshmeister, why don't you attend and let us know?
No pics, please ;).skyshrimp said:I just downed 32oz of warm water containing two heap teaspoons of sea salt to cleanse my colon. This is how I broke my 16 hour intermittent fast, 10 minutes ago.
Things are about to get real.
