DaisyAnneReturns I can't make your twitter address open even if I copy and paste. Is it still thete please?

It's because I put brackets round it, I think NotSpaghetti. It works for me if I leave them off. Sorry about that.

"connection it brings to others" that should read.

If you have an issue with a newspaper headline, wouldn't it be better to take it up with the newspaper in question? Not sure what posting it on here is meant to achieve.

What a strange thing to say. I thought Gransnet was an open forum where people felt free to discuss and get different perspectives on all manner of things ranging from current affairs, politics, the paranormal and family issues. Sometimes this can "achieve" a result in good advice or an explanation of a particular subject but mostly the posts are just points of interest. I enjoy this variety and the connection brings to others. Long may it stay that way!

Well it will be of use, eventually, when travelling in Europe.
Just think of the cost to us if we were still in. Much more than HS2 and that was bad enough.

The difference being that joining up routes between countries in Europe will benefit millions of drivers every year, including British drivers and goods, whereas HS2 has been a shambolic, ill thought through waste of money?
DaisyAnne Returns I don’t see what meaning this article has, it seems to be an attempt to inflame the already ill informed about something that is happening in Europe. It’s really a very juvenile tactic.

The EU have been linking motorways for many years to provide through routes. If you drive in France you will see A numbers (autoroute) also with an E number. For example, the A89 goes from Bordeaux eastwards to Clermont Ferrand and then Lyon. The E road goes south west from Bordeaux to Coruna. Eastwards it ends on the Black Sea Coast. There is another which starts in Cork , goes to Felixstowe, over to the Hook of Holland and then to Moscow and beyond.

Here's a map of the proposed routes transitmap.net/e-road-network-2020-cameron-booth/

Throughout years of holidaying in France we have sat in traffic jams and diversions particularly on the autoroute du soleil.

I'm not clear what to comment on here?
The fact that a paper changed a headline or that we wouldn't be included in an EU map?

Am I missing the point?

I felt the same, hence my comment...

At a guess, I think DAR is looking for opinions from others on this topic, rather than having a pressing need to take up the matter with the media.

It's not unusual for posters to comment on things they read in the papers and invite comment.

DAR I read about it in The Independent, where it was posited that these new plans / links would be of great benefit to Brits going abroad in future.

You won, get over it’: Daily Express throws hissy-fit after UK excluded from EU rail project is The London Economic take on the matter.

The Express changed its headline when 'someone' pointed out the irony of moaning about a plan that only applies to EU member states, when said paper did everything possible to make sure Britain wasn't going to remain one of them!
