If only you knew how much time and effort it took to get trains to be electronic friendly. There was one London main line station that if a certain type of train switched off or on when at the platform it would bring down the whole computer network within the station, knocking out all the departures and arrival boards and screens.

Israeli restaurants don't serve bagels. You can get them at hotels that cater to American tourists though... What they do serve is excellent various middle eastern foods. Plus other interesting combinations -- a couple of years back we went to a place that served Argentinian style foods -- but all done kosher.

Um.. you do not need to go to a restraunt for that. Fast food joints I believe outnumber gas(petrol) stations. No extra charge for the pink slime either. Janice ID: 1226733 ·

The effective range of the jammers is only 50 feet & by the time the bus passed you by, it shouldn't be a problem. & to give most people a comfortable journey without having to listen to the constant crap one hears in these conversations just has to be worthwhile.
