  James Sherwood (anyone remember him?) made a pitch for the original proposal with a bridge based design, as I recall. He was Chairman of Sea Containers at the time that had just bought the old Sealink.
  
  Fortunately, he didn't get the better of the late, lamented Sir Alastair Morton and the rest, as they say, is history. A bridge and an island is not as impractical as you might think but does, on the face of it, offer some serious challenges. This, however, is such more Boris self-aggrandisement. With any decent government he would have been slung out on his ear a long time ago.
