Nice to know:)
No kidding? I didn't know that.
This is very interesting, I had to tell you. Great post. kisses:)
Yes, it smells of trains, not in my time.
It can't have been a pleasant experience back then. It still isn't, for different reasons now.
Yep and it is said that they built the entire London underground with one year of India's profits from tea.
