Originally posted by dang65Interesting fact: When the original Seven Wonders Of The Ancient World were listed in 140 BC, the Pyramids were the oldest of the structures on the list by 2000 years. And they are the only structure from that list which are still standing now.
So, really the Pyramids should be The Wonder Of The World, and then you could have a list of Some Other Fairly Nice Places.
Later mediaeval lists naturally folowed the Hellenic writings.

2. Gordons massive tax take hasn't actually driven us back to third world status.
3. House prices keep rising
4. Agents
5. how ATW gets any coding done.
6. Why the UK hasn't sunk, due to Global Warming/Cooling/staying the same, immigration or Sally Annes lunch falling off the table.

I voted for:
Acropolis
Angkor Watt
Petra
Taj Mahal
Stonehenge
Great Wall of China
Macchu Piccu
Can't believe the Angel of the North wasn't among the contenders
No mention of the Channel Tunnel which while it may be heavily in debt is still an incredible feat of engineering.
Hows about the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.
The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (speaking of which hows about the Tram Network in San Francisco - built buy a British man of course )
Surely we could come up with 7 New Wonders of the World
