Recently I heard a story on French radio that 2 lorries had crashed on the motorway. They were both carrying tomatoes - one from Holland headed for Spain and yup, you guessed it, the other from Spain headed to Holland. It's crazy! :shock: BTW, I KNOW WE'VE GONE OFF-COURSE HERE, BUT IN THE BEGINNING OF THE THREAD, I WAS JUST MAKING THE POINT THAT BY BUYING GAS FROM ARAB COUNRIES WE ARE SUPPORTING COUNTRIES WHO ARE OUT TO GET US. |
