It strikes me that many British people think it’s crap, and if they regain some self confidence they shall quickly change that situation.

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostSpiffing stuff, and precisely what I propose. I feel that the plans for a high speed rail link from London to Birmingham are not ambitious enough. This high speed link should continue all the way to Edinburgh and in fact to Dublin and Belfast via the world’s biggest mother of all suspension bridges, modeled on the rather spectacular Humber Bridge.
I was watching a programme on the North Sea oil industry - Crude Britannia. The early rigs were very impressive engineering feats.

Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Originally posted by The_Equalizer View PostAs it happens we were discussing the possibility of a bridge/tunnel from Scotland to Northern Ireland when high speed link to Birmingham was on the news.

This is precisely what’s needed. The sort of engineering project that makes the whole world say ‘if you want something built, phone the British’. That's the real 'return on investment' when you do something really impressive; it advertises competence and ingenuity to the whole world.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

Stop being negative.
Golf Greenkeeping studies has a vocational element to it. Do you know how hard it is to get the perfect green?"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
