Personally, I can't get excited about a quest for a Great British
Design where one of the three finalists is an Anglo-French design
that wasn't particularly successful but looked nice.

It's a design competition, looking nice is the whole point.


Er, no. That's not the whole point of "design".

And as much as I love the Tube, Concorde's design is one of the
most amazing designs ever. I have to vote for her.


Hmm. Most fatalities per million flights of any recent airliner.
