Did anyone see that programme about Thomas Heatherwick last night?

I thought that folding bridge he built was superb!

Normally would prefer to be in garage or out in the car.

but that had me totally trasfixed.
A british designer as well . The bridge was amazing if not a little phalic during its operation, as for ther glass brige I did wonder how a little dirt between the pains would affect it.

All I can say is that if the bloke ever designs a kit car

A tallent I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of !!!

You sound surprised

Really gets my goat. Much as the English/Welsh/Scots like to take the wee out of each other, as a team, we're probably the most talented, innovative bunch on the planet.

Trouble is every great Brit idea is usually sold abroad
