@b5347c26 Any trans people who want to swim will have to transition in pairs so they can compete with each other for a cup hastily made out of a piece of aluminium foil wound around a fingertip.
If the Eurostar were being built today the Tories would conspire to start the railway in Bromley and stop digging the tunnel half way under the English Channel. As it was, we opened it with high speed rail on the French end and a distinctly slower rail service on the English end because we hadn’t even thought of starting a high speed link from the coast into London.
@43d7c4ea This isn’t the first problem with concretes. In the early 1960s the lovely post war school I was in had to be closed for remedial work because the school hall in a similarly school had had a whole roof collapse. Then there was the whole thing with High Alumina Cement in the early seventies, similarly affecting public buildings and motorways like the M6 at Gravelly Hill. I seem to recall people went to prison for that.
