Don't come here, we have nutters too

Some years ago, I had a letter published in the Times, to some approval, pointing out that the Humber Bridge, which serves no possible or profitable purpose where it is, with my ruler, seems to fit exactly from the Needles to the coast outside Yarmouth. Here, and tell me I'm wrong, it would serve the purpose of the Skye bridge replacing exhorbitant ferry charges. Since then it has emerged that the skye bridge is also exhorbitant!
I believe that I'm right in saying that the Southern Railway wanted to build a railway tunnel in the thirties from Portsmouth.
Useless information #2: Mrs. Boxer worked as a waitress at a guest house there, in her late teens and remembers slavery with no affection at all!
