Day 42 - back to MIM

Another train day! Back to Moreton in Marsh today on what is actually Phil's birthday.

Took the train from Disney to Lille to catch the Eurostar. Interesting to see a poster in the Lille train station about what to do in case of a terrorist attack. One of the pictures showed people hiding in the train line up against the wall, but for some reason covering their ears with their hands. Another picture warned you not to run at the police who might mistake you for a terrorist.

We spent some time on the train playing a game called Pointless which is based on a TV game show that is quite popular in the UK. The basic premise is you get a category and have to guess a correct answer but that the fewest people out of a hundred got correct. For example, name a person who starred in the movie Rain Man.  Most people would guess Dustin Hoffman or Tom Cruise, but few people would remember Bonnie Hunt.  So you are aiming for a correct answer that no one out of 100 people would have guessed. The Brits come up with the best games!

We were back in Moreton by dinnertime and so had time to go for an Italian meal to celebrate Phil's birthday. After that, we all went to bed exhausted!
