Eurostar: We love the French

At long last the Eurostar high speed thingy bob has now been built at St Pancras International in London (ignoring the fact that our neighbours on the continent have had their high speed links in place for bloody ages).

It means Paris is now just two and a quarter hours away from the capital (if you ignore the inevitable London congestion you’ll face getting to the terminal).

Tourism marketing body VisitBritain’s Tom Wright has predictably given the new rail link his approval in expectation of all those extra tourists coming for short trips.

Searcy’s, which today launched Europe’s longest Champagne bar, will no doubt be equally keen to say bonjour to our nearest European neighbours, so it’s good to see that London brewer Fuller’s has decided a cheeky dig is the most appropriate way to commemorate this momentous occasion (Anglo/French sniping being the natural order and all).
