I'm afraid the retirement of Concorde, and the actions of numerous companies involved, not to mention the modern day travel nightmare, incompetent jobsworths running off "anoraks" etc makes me VERY glad that I left the UK.
If we think a bit, the Concorde saga is more than a sign of the general state of affairs.
I hope to see ingenuity, common sense, and technological triumph again someday. For now, it is plainly apparent that we are destined to recede towards the 1700's.
