Not having read "Going Postal" yet, I looked up "Grand Trunk Company" in the Wikipedia, so I finally know what and who you're all talking about - heh! I get it! I also found out about the Grand Trunk Railway Company, which used to be the biggest railway system in the world, and there are sections of track in Canada that still use the name "Grand Trunk", though now owned by the CN (Canadian Northern). Some pretty interesting stuff. Seems like Pratchet is worth reading just to look up all of the historical references he makes! ---DisneyBoy
