Re: My Favourite English Landmark
Have you not heard of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, arguably our finest engineer?

Damned sight better than that ugly looking thing you have crossing that stream in Newcastle.

Can posters please size their photos before posting? Those giant pictures mess up the display.
Thanks

Re: My Favourite English Landmark
Sorry about this:
Salisbury Cathedral has the tallest church spire in the United Kingdom (123m/404 ft).
The cathedral also has the largest cloister and the largest cathedral close in Britain (80 acres (320,000 m2)).
The cathedral contains the world's oldest working clock (from AD 1386) and has the best surviving of the four original copies of the Magna Carta (all four original copies are in England).
If I'd stayed at my school for 6th form instead of leaving, I'd probably have been Head Boy...one perk is being allowed to marry at the Cathedral.
