Am on Eurostar heading for the tunnel. Police officers hurtling up and down the train. Urgent announcements for a man whose name sounds like the French word for 'war'. Are you in office?

Not in office. Why? What happening now?

Train slowing down. More urgent announcements for passenger 'War'. More police up and down. Overheard suggestion train might return to Paris. Thought you could phone Eurostar. Can't move to ask what is going on. La Fille asleep on lap.

Gawd. Glad I'm not there. Sounds worrying. No announcements?

You are joking!
Some time later....

What's happening?

Panic over. Train speeding up now. Police walking not running. No more calls for Mr War. Presumably they found him. I hope so.
To: Parisgirl
From: Best Friend in London
Any clues what happened? Any announcements?

Ha ha ha...bonk (me laughing head off). Nothing. We're going into a big black hole now. See you in London.
