Subject: RE: BS: Hideous USAian immigration
Many years ago, in the early years of the (last? ;>)) IRA bombing campaign, I set out to travel to Holland by boat and train from Ireland. At that stage, the ferry from Dun Laoghaire still had a First and Second Class. Shortly after I boarded, there was a "bomb scare", caused , IIRC, by a phone call. They evacuated the second class section onto the pier - but didn't disturb the First Class!

Didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
