    Now *thats* the only serious :naughty: yuck! I'd rather buy a takeaway! The last time I ate meat, I was in Switzerland - I was coming back to the UK from Crete, by train - I had a ferry from Crete to Athens, a train to Patras, a ferry to Brindisi, and two trains up Italy to Switzerland. It took about 5 days, travelling day and night, and I *had* to stop and sleep in a bed. I only had about 5 swiss francs left, and all that would buy was a cheeseburger and chips from McDonalds - so I did :o:o:o I expected to be sick, but I wasn't, probably because I was so hungry. It was quite a learning experience :o
