This may make people look at trains again for journeys inside Europe.
Between the travel to and from the airport, the security check-in and the wait if anything goes wrong, train journeys are not so slow, perhaps.

And we are getting some high speed rails that will be significantly outdated by the time they are built some distance in the future, which will make it easier for everyone to get to Europe by train, rather than just people in London

Wait... why do the Brits want to go home? The weather in Spain is awesome-on-toast and everything is cheap. I can't imagine being so desperate to get back to the rain and chavs that I would send for the Navy.

Someone actually did lead a small fleet of boats over to France to pick up stranded tourists, but he was told not to come back for the rest by the French, due to "creating bad competition for the ferry companies" or something stupid like that.
So much for helping your fellow man *shakes fist at the Frogs*

Why would you want French wine? Get some good Australian wine instead of the horse wee that the French usually pass off as wine

Albatross wins the thread. I usually come back from vacation only because I ran out of money. Sounds like an excuse to be an expatriate.

When my father was in the RAF he was stationed in Gibraltar for a while.
His favourite pastime was to buy some Spanish onions, climb up the Rock and give them to the Barbary apes. They would peel and eat them enthusiastically, weeping tears all the while.
People had to make their own entertainment in the good old days.

Ok, our finest naval vessel, the er... Celebrity Eclipse is on the way. It has a cargo of 88 Spanish prisoners which we are willing to exchange for 2500 of our own countrymen.

Sobrasada. That is some weird stuff. I only had it once - it tasted a bit like a pet shop. But I loved everything else - Mallorquin food is awesome.
