You Roast Beef are zo funny.
In your Chilterns you have Messieurs Les Nimby complaining about the route of your LGV Deux.

En la Grand France we welcome such things.
And if our government fails to provide a gare to compensate for ze blight then it is guerre!

UPDATE: This from our man in a railway carriage near Compiegne...
