Anything our HR send out at the moment is grating. And time consuming and barely relevant. Seems half working from home and in some sort of internet Bermuda triangle and those that are in moaning they are drowning

This story has got a lot of coverage and I think it was only a matter of time before a tunnel plan was accepted

We got the same machine, the Direct Drive that's no quieter than the belt driven one.
The start up and end tones are bloody annoying and I am yet to find how to switch them off.

So....to make the "whoever people" happy....let's spend £1.7Billion (Billion...more than a million....lots) to make it quieter around Stonehenge. Huh? Country hurting like heck for money...but let's spend money so Stonehenge will look/sound better? Madness. Next step....there is too much wind around St Andrews, let's build a £3Billion wind break to make it quieter/nicer/more pleasant to play golf there.

The cash does not vanish it feeds the economy! Jobs, VAT etc?..

Banjo calm down
The area around SH is regularly gridlocked at peak times , the options are to go around it, or under it, it will have been costed and decided that the tunnel is the better option in terms of cost and environmentals
A new bypass would cost loads in terms of the purchase of land, and it’s a much bigger job.
The tunnel is a more compact option, the spoil can be used elsewhere.
And it will also provide construction jobs
At the end of the day, it’s just another infrastructure project

And what’s the betting it costs more than 1.7 billion? I bet they have nearly spent that already on all the consultations, etc

It's just I was going to post something, decided not to, but don't seem to be able to not post, unless I post something.
That could be my random irritation.

Would be a silly thing to do as it’s perfectly fine to ask a question using the word can instead of may, albeit it’s less formal.
