From across the pond

[Jonathan Hutchins]

It's interesting to note that I see more replies to spam in the list than I 
see spam - although some does get through.  That's promising though, as it 
indicates good discrimination on the part of spamassassin.

You know about the electricity being different - 240V, that's what the 
alternate switch position on your power supply is for.  Every outlet has a 
switch, but all the switches are backwards: down is on, up is off.

The trains are incredible.  There's a track a few hundred yards away from our 
B&B, and all you hear is this low rumble like a jetliner coasting in for a 
landing.  You can hear a bit of a "woosh" if it's one of those 100MPH trains.  
No rattle, no banging across the joints in the rails, no flat wheels 
going "bang, bang, bang" - and because they've eliminated "grade" crossings, 
no blasting horns.  I'm miles away from the tracks in K.C., and it's much 
noiser.

Haven't actually had a Guiness yet this trip, though I've been sampling the 
local ales.
