The return to normality should occur from February 20th, closing with sixteen publications the cycle dedicated to passenger vessels in regular or tourist service on the Tejo River. As a note of interest, partly motivated by this disastrous experience with the British operator VODAFONE, I will soon launch a new digital space –  UNPLEASANT | LX . It will be interesting.

As I wrote in one of several texts published on social media and made known in Berkshire, «[…] the expressive

Despite its historical value, the place it occupies in the hearts of successive generations of commuters and with a robustness and reliability that have not been surpassed by more recent constructions, it was not possible to keep the fe
