DB could do what you formulate in your question above, or they could
simply dispend of ICRR and manage the Eurostar traffic on Great

Er, we've been here before... it's *in* Great Britain to everyone here

Great Britain is an island.

In case you go to vacations to the largest of the Balearen islands,
would you spend your time _on_ Mallorca, or _in_ Mallorca?

I can work out what you meant by 'dispend'.

My reminiscences of Latin interferes sometimes with my english
vocabulary... The proper form of the verb I meant to use is "dispense"
like in "dispense with ICRR".

Thanks for helping to improve my English!


Cheers,
