The Tay road bridge is different though!.
Has been remedied from day one and probably your bridge as well.

Did I say I believed it?

I merely enquired as to it's staying power after hearing an aquaintance say it was not built to last.

I can talk about this Span with some credence because i happened to be there when construction was happening.

My memories good & bad of this time were 1st Hand includng the Men who lost their lives whilst i was employed right on site.

You are just full of ..IT...

I still own my gran's old invitation identical to the one pictured. I take it there can't be too many of them going around anymore.

"Mcswallow" some girl's will... However looking back at previous post's as we do.. your inane post deserve's further comment.

It's still 'bridge' standing despite the bottle's. can's. old life jacket's. boot's. Anything that needed dumping went into the Coffer's (PILLAR'S) lastly concrete to give extra strength!. what you were told may be far off the mark.

Left to it's own devices your source could have been right.
