Travelling to Moravia in the Czech republic to visit my father before Christmas. Taking local trains, the same I remember from the communist era. This is a sign for emergency brake. Note no English, just Czech, Russian, French and German. Those were days of heady antagonism when a mention of the US and UK would make the commies froth at the mouth. Strange to think of it as these days a different lot goes hysterical at the same mention…
