@HollyAMackay Hi Holly, it will go, but might take quite a while (months) I'm afraid. Pain relief and stretching exercises when you are able should sort it. NHS website has advice.

@richardavsmith Your analysis of the Spanish/French border spot on. Delays and cancellations to Portbou also seem to be a regular occurrence. We were caught out a month ago and ended up in unplanned stopover in Figueres

Hi Richard. I'm enjoying following your Inter rail trip. Can you tell me whether any issues booking seats in Spain or Portugal as I think you have to do that at the station and not via online, cheers

[John B @Bluesgigs]

@jonworth Irun is only on local regional trains and you have to go to San Sebastian to pick up long distance trains to Madrid etc.

@DeborahMeaden Feeler gauges. Used to measure very small gaps in engineering and car maintenance.

@MartinSLewis I've had it done for a front tooth I lost as a youngster. It was very straightforward with no pain. I went for the longer treatment which means waiting for the implant to bond rather than doing it all in one go. You won't regret it, cheers

[John B @Bluesgigs]

@ladyhaja Ahh, Quarry Bank. Many happy memories of my time there! And I escaped 😊

[John B @Bluesgigs]

Torn. Bayern could get 6, but PSG too much money. Which way to go?

[John B @Bluesgigs]

En route to Paris thanks to @flixbus_FR. Bonne journey 😊

[John B @Bluesgigs]

@EurostarUK Good morning, appreciate its difficult time for you. Our Paris London train has been cancelled. We can't get anyone to rebook us and UK tel number just keeps ringing out. Can we use our ticket from Brussels instead? Many thanks

[John B @Bluesgigs]

@EurostarUK Due to industrial action by French Customs, there are severe delays and long queues for our services departing from Paris. We advise passengers not to travel unless absolutely necessary. We apologise for the inconvenience. To find out more please visit https://t.co/ucJlMN1hY8
