Feasible? Great idea, any suggestions for a site?

Which one do you use emmie A couple on Marchmand Street.

[Cloverjo]

I suppose it’s feasible, but I can’t see that it’s necessary.
The cost is a problem. We now talk about billions the same way we used to about millions. Where’s it all going

[TonyV]

emmie consultants and feasibility studies. Subbed out by the consultants to their recommended companies (insert mates and a brown envelope)

[Old_Geezer]

They need to do a cost benefit calculation, and look at related impacts. I'm not against it in principle but wonder if it's more than a vanity project.

Yep... between Stranraer and Carrickfergus and let them fight amongst themselves, and let wee Burney pay for it.

^ The bitterness deep in this one is ^ :-)

Boris definitely has form planning bridges and promising someone else will pay for them. Keep an eye on your purse.

Why not just rebuild this. Scroll down to the "Nonsuch House: https://c17thlondontokens.com/tag/nonsuch-house/

[ichkeria]

It’s actually a ridiculous idea from a cost and engineering point of view and will never, ever happen.

[Zacs-Master]

Crazy idea.

[TonyV]

Agreed Zacs will never happen in my lifetime and probably never.

It's gonna take a couple of decades (at least) to get over the trauma of HS2 & Heathrow (whether or not either go ahead) before another project of such enormity will be seriously contemplated.

Who knows where risk-taking ends & stupidity begins?

[DTCwordfan]

yes, all the way out to Rockall........from Cape Wrath.

and more sensibly a large part of the North Channel is 700-1000 feet and just happens to contain a rather large quantity of excess WW2 munitions - as in 1945, it became the United Kingdom's largest offshore dump site for conventional and chemical munitions after the Second World War.

Just in the Beaufort Dyke alone there are 14,500 tons of 5-inch artillery rockets filled with phosgene and well over a million tons of munitions - may be Balfour Beatty should take on the job of clearing it?
