I quote from that article: '... one draft believed to be under
consideration is Paul Fryer's 394ft cross between an electricity pylon
and a totem pole dubbed the "Piffle Tower ..."'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiffel_tower has "The tower stands at 324
m (1,063 ft) tall..."

Did This is London or Basil Jet confuse metres and feet?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel seems apposite. ;)
