The channel tunnel was designed to cause a massive tidal wave and put London underwater
I knew a bloke who was part of a group called "Tumi" who believed (this was back in the early 1990s) that when the channel tunnel was complete, it would cause a massive shockwave up the length of Britain that would split the country in two and cause tidal waves that would put all low-lying places underwater. So London and Cornwall would be fucked, but Lancashire and Scotland would be OK.

He reckoned that the "44 thousand souls of Tumi" would be saved. I asked him why he lived in Lincolnshire and he replied smugly that he was one of the souls.

He came across as very straight-laced in all other respects.

Well, I don't know about that.
But I hear their luggage is supposed to be very good.

What did he say when his Rapture failed?

I don't know, unfortunately, as I lost touch with him just before the tunnel was completed.
I wish I'd looked him up and asked him.

He also reckoned the French knew this would happen and that they wanted to kill British people
