The story seems to imply that it's the Dartford road tunnels that are
more at risk, but nontheless an "extreme tidal even" could flood the
CTRL tunnels at Dartford. Bluewater could also live up to it's name.


I particularly like the revelation that the CTRL Thames tunnel is
"low-lying". Consultants are sure on the ball these days.


"to consult", v: Hybrid of "to con" and "to insult".
