I'd never buy one, French cars are notorious for requiring lots of maintenance (my mother had a Citroen, it spent long periods in the shop for repairs until one day it failed, it had rusted right through major support beams from the inside).

I've heard that the word "awesome" (which appears in the subject line of this thread) has a different meaning in the UK and the US. In the US, it means "great, remarkable, outstanding". In the UK, it means "terrible, appalling, awful". Can a British national confirm that?

Yes, wagons - got to admire them. Racing, and overtaking each other up hills doing 45mph.
But taking the train in the UK is not that good an option. Mostly best
to fly.
I've heard that it's as quick to travel on the Eurostar (train) from Paris into London, than it is to get into the city from the suburbs. Paris is a lot cheaper too.

I think its one of those words that has changed its meaning over the last few years. It can indeed be used to mean "terrible, appalling, awful", although recently the US government publicly used a similar word for this meaning - remember the "shock and awe" campaign?

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi
