We went for plan B. We spent a very nice evening, learnt how "Eyjafjöll"
was pronounced and that Calais is not so close to London anymore,
it seems. Thanks to everyone who came to meet us.

Nicholas advised me on the use of a good bait to get more Londoners in
Calais (Léon already has the flyers). And I'm not afraid to use it:

    "The first round for London.pm in Calais will be on me."
