If you went into an English tea room for afternoon tea and they served you that monstrosity and claimed it was a cucumber sandwich, you'd be perfectly within your rights to burn the entire place to the ground and not a single judge in the country would convict you.

If it has cheese or ham then it's not a cucumber sandwich. It's a cheese sandwich, or a ham sandwich.
Nothing changed. I'm not sure what you were expecting would change - the only difference was that instead of driving to Dover, putting your car on a ferry and then getting off in France, you'd drive to Dover, put your car on a train and then get off in France.
The Eurostar passenger services started a year or so later iirc, but again although it was fun to be able to take the train to Paris rather than taking the plane or boat, it didn't really affect anyone who wasn't travelling to Paris anyway.
Maybe a controversial one but I much prefer the US version of Shameless to the British one.
If the thread had been titled "how do I make a bahn mi" then I'd have upvoted you to the moon. But it wasn't. It was asking how to make that most English (not British, but English) of foods, a cucumber sandwich. And in case that wasn't a clue enough, the community is Ask UK. Not Ask Vietnam or Ask America.
