Crossrail could now cost £20b.
HS2 is now predicted to cost £86b
And we chose not to spend £3b making the the M4 in Wales fit for purpose.
We are our own worst enemies sometimes.

Wales should have voted to stay in Europe appreciated the funding we had as a nation , and probably swayed the vote to stay , lol .
Shot in the foot
It’s the same at 2 and 3 o clock in the morning. Utter pi$$ take. The best one is coming towards the tunnel set at 40mph then 20. Once you pass it’s miraculously 50 again. :angry:Quote:
