In the pub on Saturday I surprised myself with a rant about the lack of ambition in the world today.
We were talking about a store in Oxford, which when it was built had an underground railway to bring in the coal and coke to heat it. Why the hell!?!?!? of all the options, they built an underground railway - it's both fantastical and incredible at the same time. But it represented a time when there was huge amounts of ambition in this country. Every facet was engineered with a can-do not a can-do-cheaper attitude.
I think we could do with more of that....
