The British it’s widely acknowedged are among the finest exponents of great architecture in the world. That’s a fact and not an opinion. From the Georgians right throught to the present day they have been developing new and interesting styles of architecture. The one area however, which seems to lack consistency is the area of bridge design
Take a look at the image below and it’s clear to see that whoever was commisioned to build this hadn’t a hope of finnishing it. 😡 :confused:

IT doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that that bridge in no way spans the river. Just look! To me this project shows another very British trait, that of arrogance. Even in this day and age, we all know that it’s an impossible task to build to build a bridge all the way from England to France. So why undertake such a mammoth, nay impossible task? :confused: :confused: :confused:
Contrast the poor effort above with the wholley more achievable task of spanning the bank of the river Thames.

For you to mock one of the greatest examples of Victorian seaside architechture is not only tasteless but downright offensive.
Rumour has it that when the consortium that built Le Tunnel found out about the earlier attempt to cross the channel , they hired some professional arsonists to torch the biggest threat to their investment. Altough this was not proved in a recent court case, a spokesperson for the tunnel firm reitterated “we stand by our previous statement that we did not have any involvment in the West Pier incident, even though we believe the pier was a threat to our business. We would not codone or be involved in such acts of vandalism and wish the Pier company all the best in there rebuilding program”.
Chris Eubank who has fought for a number of years to get the Pier rebuilt was angry that no one had been brought to justice over the fire ” the situations is ridiculous, all thes peoples of Brightons want a directs crossing to frances, i will be donatings my personals finances to the projects in the hopes that this pioneerings projects gets backs off the grounds”
