The Chunnel trains currently arrive in Waterloo Station, making “Waterloo” the first place a Frenchman will visit on his arrival in the UK. I can’t prove it, but I’ve always suspected this is deliberate piss-taking by the Brits.
Sadly, not all decision makers share that cheeky sense of humor. In a bid to avoid offending England’s neighbor across the Channel, an upcoming re-enactment of the Battle of Trafalgar will not feature the British defeating the French. Instead, it will commemorate that historic day when the Red Team defeated the Blue Team.
