Channel Tunnel is 20 years old:

It is 20 years since the Channel Tunnel was officially opened. Both Queen Elizabeth II and France's President Francois Mitterrand attended the initial ceremony in Calais on 6 May 1994, before travelling through the Tunnel, or le tunnel sous la Manche in French, for a similar event marking its opening, in Folkestone.



It is impossible to explain all 31.4 miles (or 50.5km) of the Channel Tunnel without using lots of numbers. So here goes.

I don't like France either - It cost me over 1000 euros for 2 tyres when I was there last year!

It's actually a nice place I must add even if I was robbed blind!
