Tangential, but when dudes say "females" it's always a red flag

The spring Interrail sale has rolled round - 15% off all passes bought before end of March.
(Amusingly for me, this has launched during the 7-day free cancellation period for some passes I bought on Saturday. I will definitely not *ahem* be acting accordingly.) allaboard.eu/interrail
