    I like how meeting Martin involves taking a large wrench from him. I'm imagining he just greets everybody with a large wrench, it's customary.

      Yes he certainly was. Probably the greatest civil engineer the uk has ever had. So much of what he designed/built is still in use today and will last forever.

    Learning about this bridge has probably been my favorite videos on objectivity. Even from here in Canada I find it incredibly interesting to learn about England and the rest of Great Britain's past. Thank you for all of the entertainment and knowledge you provide us with Brady throughout all of your channels.

    I remember the scandal that precipitated the use of the automated barriers opened by tokens - they discovered a large discrepancy between the number of cars crossing and the number of tickets being issued. The toll collectors had very deep and strong pockets to take home half the tolls they collected!

      I believe the cradle sits on top of the towers. It holds the suspension cable on location and protects it from damage.

      It's a dinosaur found inside one of the vaults. In the last episode you could just barely see the femur of the "Lastiaimu-saurus" sticking out from beneath one of the interior walls.
      _Or_ it could be Brady's way of pronouncing "Last time you saw us", but I'm not so sure about that.
