UK people who were adults when the Chunnel opened, what was it like? (lemmy.ca)

What was life like before and after? Was there a noticeable change? Was it more of a mental change? Anything else?

I haven’t taken the Chunnel but my parents take it instead of the ferry. Before that we used to take the ferry or the hovercraft (unless my memory is mocking me). So the main change for us was how to cross the channel, nothing more.

Otherwise I’m not sure what you mean by a change. A change in what?
