Did you know Titanic was built by Bombardier? Nuff said.

Being serious - how did a lettuce sink the Titanic?

Some of these lettuces are pretty cunning. There was a crop of them that entirely evaded a batch of Virgin Trains BLTs the other week (likely without even trying).

Its wreck has not been retrofitted with a Dellner coupler, and therefore any good enthusiast knows that's a bit of a fib.

"Welcome aboard this White Star Line service to the Bottom of the Ocean. Please note this service will divide en-route at A Big Iceberg. Berths 1 to 1699 will continue to the Bottom of the Ocean. Berths 1700 to 2400 will continue to the Bottom of the Ocean via Preston Park."

As a side note: did you know Bombardier's Derby Carriage Works phone number is supposedly 01332 344 666? Look again at the last three digits...

Spooky! <D

I tried to call it but nobody answered. I guess their phone is probably awaiting a return to the factory for a software upgrade.

No - the phone thinks it is somewhere near Ifield and won't let anyone receive a call until it is restarted. In addition, in order to force users to use the new speakerphone technology, the manufacturer has locked the handset and main receiver together, and, thus, to take a private phone call, one requires a t-key.
