Do you want to hear something really dull?
No? Well, tough - I'm going to tell you anyway. (Just remember it's August and there's absolutely nothing going on anywhere).
The more "mature" individuals amongst you will no doubt remember the old-style train windows that you used to have to pull down before opening the door from the outside.
And then, of course, there were the standard windows in carriages that you opened to the designated position "for ventilation" or, more likely, someone in the seats in front of you opened far too far and almost blew your head off.
Those days are now long since gone with train windows in Great Britain, by law, no longer capable of being opened.
Apart from one (CUE REALLY DULL FACT).
The single exception is the window in Prince Charles' bedroom on the Royal Train because His Royal Heirness (and bow) refuses to sleep with his window shut, and therefore receives special dispensation. (Get him).
I did warn you it was dull (although perhaps you are a little surprised at just how dull. On the other hand, have you ever heard any interesting facts about Charles? Me neither).
