This new rail tunnel apparently encapsulates swiss national identity. Is it

[Sir C]

Ummmmmmm, there's the hotel bar which definitely serves food of some sort. I think there's a restaurant upstairs - or failing that there's one in the casino. They're all basically awful, though.
On the plus side, there's a statue of Jimmy Hill outside.

Give my regards to the Nailcote. They were always rather nice there - for Midland types. And I've got very, very drunk in that little bar many times.

I shall raise a glass to you in said bar.

I wonder if peter will be in attendance. I will drop him a message.

Me, a poverty tourist? Living in Bradford I you'd think I'd gone a bit far with that.

I just think your sort rather avoids places like , say, Houston or Tokyo or Paris because you prefer spots where your money and your passport makes you a big shot, the top man, rather than visiting there for any reasons concerning rich cultural heritage, architecture, art or local traditions and customs and all that guff.

Even though we don't actually say it, of course.

You, sir, are absolutely bonkers.

Have you ever been on holiday to Houston, Tokyo or Paris? I put it to you.

I'd love to go to Tokyo. I've never holidayed in Paris but I have worked there and would never voluntarily go back.

Houston, given it's Texas turned up to 11, I would avoid like it was on fire

Seriously, red, who the ****ing hell goes on holiday to Houston? The place has all the charm of an armpit.

Yet people cheerfully holiday in Chingola

Houston's tony, fly. I like it. Austin's better though.
