681217 2008-06-23 01:28:00 So it is going to cost 100 million to set up. Plus the overuns of course.

Why don't they make busses & trains FREE instead. ???

Would make more sense to me.

But then, I am old & stupid. What would I know.

681218 2008-06-23 01:30:00 How can you have auditors, accountants etc. in a free scheme? No aspirational goals there for the lads.

Hang on, don't tell me how they would manage it - I need some illusions left.

681219 2008-06-23 01:37:00 How the f***k can it possibly cost that much. 100 MILLION!

ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS!?

Give the contract to me and I'll do it for $1 million, with loads of profit in it for me.

681220 2008-06-23 01:54:00 $100,000,000

That's a crap load of money.

How on earth can it cost them that much. And we're gonna be paying for it as well! :mad:

(As in us who are very likely to never use it.)
