@PhiltheGreek (even though you are actually Danish) - I thought you were retired. The papers are moaning about you going to open some bridge.

Yeah - I renounced the Greek and Danish business in 1947 but don't let that spoil a good story.

I wouldn't normally bother with the bridge, but I've written some lame gags about the Third Forth crossing - there'll be loads of sycophantic plebs hanging about and they'll have to laugh out of a sense of duty. BTW - the papers aren't moaning love, they're well chuffed the A team is back in business.

Impressive bit of engineering though eh?



The Scousers are getting a similar one too. Probably won't open that one though - don't want the daimler up on bricks.



And for completeness, here's the Frenchies British designed version. Which is the best of all, IMO. Driving from the med to Paris and over this thing is a real treat (topless motoring is recommended for this scenario).

True. Not unusual though - I told him that every week when he came round for his audience with HRH The Mrs.

Actually it's Her Majesty The Mrs. "HRH" is for the riff-raff. Which includes you, I believe...
