I just saw on the "Yahoo" news page, that the 'Scottish Government'has given the go-ahead for the consruction of a new crossing of the Firth of Forth to supplement the existing Forth Bridge.The cost is estimated at one Billion pounds. For the benefit of our cousins in USA & Canada, a billion in the UK is a million times a million,not your puny little thousand times a million. That's a LOT of money. And where will most of this money come from?? YES !! From ENGLISH tax-payers, of course !! Discuss !!!
