Nobody seems to have considered the fact that it may well hurt French

Some sensitivity, please.

Of course it was considered - and led to the suggestion that St Pancras

This, of course would lead to the French retaliating by renaming the
Gare du Nord after a great French military victory over the English.


There is already a station in East Sussex...

Oh, wait a minute. Something's not quite right there... ;-)
