Wear crossing

They may get the height with a basket on a crane jib on the inside of the pylon but certainly not on the outside due to the cable stays.

They seem to managing perfectly well so far.
Looks tremendous.

May counts as summer opening imo

The Met office are having none of that May talk When does spring start?.

"The seasons are defined as spring (March, April, May), summer (June, July, August), autumn (September, October, November) and winter (December, January, February)."

 

[tunstall birdman]

I knew you were gonna say that.

 

[John Steed]

In his defence it has been delayed... was originally planned for 2009 iirc

A bit longer than that the first model was commissoned in the seventies.

But in no one else’s.

 

[Angelos]

But in no one else’s.

I’m surprised by this. Always thought of Summer and winter getting 4 months each

 

[mad maxim]

It'll be May 19th as the council's research will show absolutely nothing else whatsoever is happening that day ensuring we get maximum national coverage.

4 seasons over 12 months = 3 months each. Thought everyone knew this?
(Although traditionally they were from 21st of one month to 20th of 3 months later, rather than exact months iirc)

But May was never summer.

 

[EDGE]

Spring is March to May.

Makes sense. Sunderland council off the hook with this delayed bridge opening then

 

[burro nunn]

They've got until 21st June

Is it sad to be looking forward to a bridge opening?

Is it sad to be looking forward to a bridge opening?

No!!!! I must admit, I came from Stanley last night and I came over the top where the thatchers foot used to be and it looked topper. Immense I would say.

 

[becs]

Is it sad to be looking forward to a bridge opening?

No! I drove past yesterday and noticed the road signs are up and got excited for it opening.

Looks topper doesn't it

 

[becs]

Looks topper doesn't it

It looks fab

 

[Nookie Bear]

Driving down past sainsburys every morning with the bridge ahead of me on the way to Doxford I am battling a burning desire to crash through the cones and drive across it - it looks fantastic , can’t wait for it to open

Aye.
Can't get excited about it TBF.

In Sunderland it's usually 2 seasons - July and Winter
