Back to the #Fediverse after a morning riding the Panama Canal Railway between Panama and Colon #CanalZone http://www.panarail.com/en/passenger/
Panama Canal Railway

Will #history rhyme? It is just a few days after the sixty eighth anniversary of one of the earliest events I can recall. This was the resignation of #siranthonyeden - the then #uk #primeminister . This occurred as a result of the #uk - along with #france - having occupied the #suez #canalzone by force. This backfired spectacularly - causing significant disruption to shipping routes and several months when petrol - the #uk term for #gasoline - was rationed. Not easy to seize a waterway intact!
