No the roads are open. The train co sd they were giving up because roads are
blocked. I checked with Nat Express coaches and they knew nothing of that.
I think the trains are waiting to be bailed out - THAT is the skill of the
private sector But if they did, the Cornish... Hundreds turned up from the
an gof rebellion (500 years ago, tho some are still at Paddington, waiting
for the
special) and got fairly near deptford creek - or maybe the big wigs of
london couldnt get a cab to go far south of the river, so they waited there.
Would you mind putting down your weapons? Thank you so much. Would your
leaders come over.Thank you; that is good of you Then they killed the
leaders and anyone who said boo. The rest headed home.
There's something greek somewhere (!) where Keltoi challenge the Greeks to
single champion combat and the greeks do that *and then did mass attack,
probably muttering what a bunch of losers and the keltoi are outraged
