It's interesting to note that the USS Yorktown, badly damaged after the attack on Pearl Harbour, had been repaired sufficiently to set sail some 48 hours later. Yet, 60 or so years later, with the commensurate advances in technology, we have been waiting since early January for a bridge to be repaired? This has brought absolute misery and ridiculous levels of pollution to Brentford High Street for an unacceptable amount of time. I dread to think how long something really major would take.....
