British tourists have been marvelling at the speed and efficiency of French trains, despite the fact that many of the high speed TGVs are not even running thanks to arson attacks and the system is also coping with an Olympics and start of holiday season.
Francesca Fraser said 'Look at these lovely trains. They're much faster than the ones at home. Punctual service. And there's never been leaves on the line the whole time we've been here. Reasonable prices too... I'm starting to wonder if the privatisation of the British train network might not have been an unqualified success.'
Locals, who are used to a good train service, were less happy. One mime, angry that his train was late and failing to travel at 200mph, did unspeakable things to a baguette.
