Every hole. Had to cut the tar with a stihl saw, then only break the tar with a breaker, after the tar it had to be hand dug. Felt like it took forever and a day!

That'll be Rosythe then. I love the Forth bridge in rush hour. My uncle walked over the main cable before the deck was laid when he was coming home from seeing a girl in Queensferry one night. He was half cut and was one of quite a few who would do it most nights. I'd take the rail bridge personally.
Can't see it from my house

Correct Pablo. Id be inclined to go with you on the rail bridge. I love the way the bridge bounces when your stuck in a traffic jam. My workmate hates it! lol
