Don't be silly , this is Britain. They might be able to build and fit
out an
entire motor racing circuit in Dubai in 9 months or put up a new
skyscraper
in 2 years in new york, but in good old blighty it takes a year to
overhaul
a couple of bloody escalators, never mind build a few box tunnels.
You should think yourself lucky its being build at all! /sarcasm
