Cautious Belgians
Coming back on the Eurotunnel Shuttle yesterday after a quick trip to the gastronomic delights of France, the car immediately behind us on the train was Belgian registered with just a middle aged couple on board.
As the safety announcements were made they dutifully got back in their car and, as the train moved off - PUT THEIR SET BELTS ON!!!!!!!!! They sat there for the whole crossing staring straight ahead and with the seat belts firmly fastened. That must be taking safety a touch too far. |

Perhaps... but maybe it was just an instinctive thing.

No wonder they're paranoid about seat belts then. |
