So, what is it then:

Public transport, or a fair-ground ride! (As in people's opinions, not the
sponsor's intentions)

My thoughts exactly: The UK no longer makes goods that anyone wants
to buy. HMG missed the golden opportunity offered by docklands.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufac...United_Kingdom,
"In June 2010 British Manufacturing accounted for 8.2% of the
workforce and 12% of the national output."


I'm intrigued to know what "golden" opportunity HMG missed in Docklands.
