Plenty of spreading around the Twitter sphere of the scandal mentioned by @FrancisUrquhart ..........
Lots of supposition, but not much fact to support the potentially serious allegations.
(i) Oooh. X knows Y. Y does something bad, sometimes, with consenting adults. Oooh. It must be a scandal despite the fact that X and Y know each other is widely known.
(ii) Oooh. X and Y went somewhere together and someone paid. It wasn't declared. It might have been below the threshold for declaration. But we don't know. Oooh.
In comparison the railway bridge is rather unspectacular, even if it was a massive achievement when it was built.
The walk from the bridge into Liverpool, squeezing through estuarine mud past Liverpool airport, is p*ss-poor. Except for the tall man of Hale: http://www.thetallestman.com/johnmiddleton.htm
I had never even heard of a Transporter Bridge. And now I need to go to Newport to check one out!
There's also the one at Middlesborough, a visit to which is perhaps the only reason for anyone ever to want to visit Middlesborough (including football), and one (I think a railway one) in Warrington.
Another weird but wonderful structure is the Anderton boat lift on the Trent and Mersey.
Middlesborough has had some fantastic rare birds over the years. Its presumably the poisoned air they fly through that means they have to land....
There's a terrible footpath that runs from Middlesborough to the sea near Redcar. It runs between fences protecting it from various plants - chemical, oil and possibly steel. When I walked it it was boggy, smelly and decrepit.
Well just a quick look at Guidos place shows that the Mirror, the Guardian, the BBC and Labour imploded today with a huge woomffaa of self afflicted hypocrisy and spittle filled hatred.
Don't suppose we will see any of that on the news bulletins after a week of Daves hounding for actually following the rules....

Aptly enough, it's called the Black Path.

Just like they all did.
