Quote We used to be able to do this kind of stuff in the UK: over the weekend of 21-22 May 1892, 3,500 workers converted 177 miles of the Great Western Railway from broad gauge to standard gauge. We couldn't do it now. Quote We could, we've just lost a will.

Failure you don't hear about.

Don't be stupid, this is Britain where it takes 12 months to process a work visa and I don't think even the Chinese are that daft for just one days work !!!!
