No thanks.

Don't worry. scooter can't cut it in the UK. That is why he ekes out an existence as a trainee village idiot in Bavaria!!

Only if Scooter gets a job in NI?

No thanks.

You are double counting. It’s just one chap going across, buying a deep fried pizza, then coming back again.

Oh wait. He's German isn't he?

Hang on, it's loads more than two - He'd be with his flock of sheep, and a couple of sheepdogs!

And how many people per year would use it? 2?

Could have a train line from Dublin to Glasgow. Start with a Guinness finish with a punch up.

FTFY

In an ideal world we should do it because we can.

In the real world it won't happen ever.

I've done Stranraer / Larne in weather that will make you find faith if you hadn't already, be fooked if I am doing that on top of a bridge!

But as this "Top Architect" explains......we don't have the "weather problems"!!!

FFS! As someone that grew up in the south west of Scotland, there is very little BUT weather problems!

If it works then great...if it doesn't work then even greater...

I thought the same thing, any bridge across the Irish Sea would only be allowed to be open about 2 weeks of the year.

Imagine if they tried to build a floating bridge....

Raise some tax up there and in NI then pay for it?

Seems simple to me.

There was and still is talk of a tunnel from Wales to Ireland

Paradoxically, it might be easier and cheaper to drill through shale and limestone and make a waterproof tunnel than do the same with the gravel and clay under the Channel
