I can see it happening by default and confusion. After all, a large

Eurotunnel after 13-odd years.

Whoever owns the Javelin brand will need the same lawyers as the people
who make portakabins or software for photoshopping things.

That would be Jowett Cars, I presume?

Nobody seems to have considered the fact that it may well hurt French
feelings to arrive in London at a station called "Waterloo".......

Some sensitivity, please.

Of course it was considered - and led to the suggestion that St Pancras
station should be renamed London Agincourt.

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

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

They have to make do with Austerlitz.

When I was young, we had exchange visits with a Parisian family. When we
were visiting each other's cities we were rather puzzled why stations
seemed to be named after defeats!
