Why does every thread here devolve into a "Real" vs. "Replica" argument?

Tag also did the 1500 and 2000 series which are very similar, I think what I saw was a very specific year/model/size that had that beige face.

A few years ago we had arrived in Paris on the fast train from London. I was using a cane because of a slightly bum knee, but more for effect so we could board flights early, jump to the front of the lines, etc. I can act "old man pain" real damn good (trust me, when you travel...take a cane).

Anyway...the French care about handicapped folks better than anyone. we went downstairs to the underground to look for restrooms. Wife had to wait in line with a coin to use a typical public restroom. Attendants saw the cane and led me to the high holy of public restrooms...only for the handicapped. A private sweet essentially. Wooden furniture, etc. the throne was wonderful...adjustable backrest with a table next to it with a collection of magazines...even some flowers. Nice prints of Paris landmarks on the walls, etc. It was about that time of day, so by god I took my time away from the hustle-bustle of train station crowds. I wished I could've ordered some coffee and some pastry, but oh well.

By the time I came out, I was met with one of those "looks." She had damn near gotten arrested...tried to take a picture of the line she was in and the attendants and an underground cop gave her some words that she didn't understand until she looked at a sign they were pointing at that she finally figured out (little pic of a camera with a red line through it) meant no photograph due to privacy concerns.

LMFAO...until I saw that "look" again.
