Memorial for those French who were shipped off to Nazi camps from that train (?) station.

Sort of trying to excuse the railwaymen who drove the trains.

When I was a teacher I did little project with the kids where thye wrote a program to crack a password

started off as 5 characters numeric
and worked its way up

one of the best things I did with them - they learned a fair bit about programming and worked out how to make a decent password

For those that are interested I used Scratch as the language as it was in Primary School but the concept would have worked well in Secondary

Remember learning the rivers of united kingdom at school.
Learned the states and rivers of Canada the same way.
My knowledge of African countries is now completely obsolete

Avon just means river, from the same Celtic source as "Afon", which is the Welsh word for River.

I'm a little surprised there aren't more than three, TBH.

Or perhaps the Gendarmes who loaded them up.
