Fuck it, I’ll bite. The reason for the +1 area code wasn’t just because of the US, but they and a few other counties coming together to create a standard. +1 isn’t the US, it’s the North American Numbering Plan.

Remember, all sockets are Type C if you push hard enough.

I assume the author says Eurostar because it’s essentially a French TGV service that extends to London. The rest of our rail network is made up of constantly overwhelmed, Victorian-era infrastructure and is perpetually on the verge of shutting down, especially in the North of England and in the South East. So unlike France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc we only have a single, modern, high-speed railway, and it’s called Eurostar.
