Ive also been saying for ages we should charge for the Evo triangle.

We do combine well on a day trip to France though hehe

It must be to do with the Southern women liking real men, not grease-smooth, latte-drinking, effeminate financial sector workers, etc. One to pay the bills and buy the clothes, the other to get them 'sorted' properly... wink

We could get the northern monkeys to build it.

We all know major construction projects are good for the economy.
So in one go we have created jobs and stopped the great unwashed invading the greeen and pleasant land that is the south east.

Makes more sense than a high speed rail link that gets you from London to one of the crappiest places in the UK, 5 minutes quicker than normal.
