    My best friend has been asking me lots of questions about Tower Bridge lately - she is too lazy to bother looking things up on Wiki and Gooogle etc. So I am pleased to find a program presented by Adam Hart-Davis who we haven't seen on 'Normal TV' lately by normal I mean BBC 1, 2, ITV etc only thing that worries me is the resemblance to Rolf Harris! Adam Hart-Davis hasn't joined the Yewtree Gang has he? Hope not as we've always found his presenting easy to understand and he has enthusiasm for his subjects! I know you 'Shouldn't judge a book by it's cover' but whilst typing this and glancing up at the TV quickly, the loud shirts and beard are so similar to Rolf Harris! I know people that would find it off putting, but they are also very narrow minded and confuse Peadeologists with Peadophiles! Anyway back to watching some informative TV....

    I've lived in London for 65 years but havve never seen Tower Bridge open.
  • The Americans knew exactly what bridge they were purchasing i wish this silly old wife's tale would stop.
