This is Rome. They say all roads lead to Rome, but actually none of the roads in the UK do. So I had to book a flight to get here. So that sayings not even true is it?

She could have driven there with the Eurotunnel no bother, though! Bit of a ride bit doable.

Everybody knows that goes to France and Rome is in Italy

You mean to tell me there are no road connections between the Eurotunnel's French exit and Rome?

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 31 points 9 months ago

Tell that to Cunk. Pretty sure her mate Paul went there once and he couldn't find it because all the signs were in french and he doesn't speak french, only english.

You can go from France to Italy.

Euro tunnel has a train track not a road. You don't drive through it, you take your car on a train.

Don’t you guys have a tunnel?

[–] Michal@programming.dev 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The tunnel doesn't have a road through it.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I bet you could get a car in there if you tried hard enough.

[–] Michal@programming.dev 2 points 9 months ago

You can get a car on the ferry or an airplane, that doesn't make it a road.

That's just because Londinium Bridge Fell Down

I'm guessing it's a translation error: all roads lead away from Rome. It's an easy mistake to make.
