The problem he's talking about with building a second car tunnel (Silvertown) right next to an existing car tunnel (Rotherhithe) is it's a bit like adding a lane to each side of a crowded freeway - you get a year or two of respite, and then people notice that it's a 'quick route' and start start making more car journeys on it (rather than not making a journey at all or doing the same errand locally), so it goes back to being clogged - only instead of six lanes of pissed-off drivers and smoking tailpipes , you've now got eight, and you've probably killed off some of the local shops by doing so.

The Netflix question: It's not that the US version is better than the UK version, it's that there is different content on both. A lot is the same, but for licencing and interest reasons, they have different shows on each. It's just better to have access to more.

Boris in his wisdom thought he’d do away with the ferries from England and Scotland to N Ireland and build a bridge instead … couple of problems … it would have had to be built over Beaufort’s Dyke, a 300m deep, 2 mile wide trench in the Irish Sea. And there was the other issue that it’s been used as a munitions dump in the 1970s. Plus it would have cost £335bn ($420 billion). A tunnel was also proposed, which was a but cheaper (£209 billion) but the issues remain.

[@jakeclough8090]

And the fact that a tunnel to Ireland is completely useless for the uk. The number of people who need to go to Ireland is tiny in comparison to the number who use the channel tunnel, which is obviously much shorter in distance, less deep underground and better rock to dig in than to Ireland. It will never happen and should never happen

[@raphaelnikolaus0486]

When you have a congested road (let's say Highway or Freeway) and you expand it to cope with and ease the current amount of traffic, people will automatically think "Hey, there's more space there now", so more people will use it (via the mode it's constructed for), thus generating more traffic, instead of just easing the current one or better decrease the usage of personal cars etc. etc.

[@IanDarley]

Why? Because the bridge has to be a minimum height to allow vessels beneath and the footway must be no steeper than 1 in 12 for wheelchair users. They therefore proposed to shallow the ramps by employing an 'S' shape with a gentle climb at each side of the river (educated guess from pleb designer in the construction industry).

[@kalinaphillips9779]

I live in Dartford, not far from Dartford Crossing. This crossing is the most east on River Thames. This means anyone who lives east of Dartford (it means everyone in Kent) will use it to go to the big shopping mall in Thurrock in Essex on the other side of Thames. Government made a decision to build a new crossing (partially tunnel) in Swanscombe (east of Dartford). Two problems 1. It is a nature reserve/marshes which have a lot of important little creatures. And 2. it will take them at least 10 years to build it, so it will be too small for the amount of cars. For comparison Dartford + 7 surrounding villages had in 1995 population of around 50000 people now the same are has nearly 180000 and they building 3 more estates (large groups of houses) each one will have population of about 25000.

[@chrism7969]

The bridges with hairpin approaches allow the necessary height to be reached without having to extend the approach too far, or it being too steep. It doesn't matter too much if the on and off ramps are curved, or straight as it is the steepness of the ramp and the height of the bridge that defines it's length. That length can be achieved in a straight line or by ramp making a number of turns. So a curvy ramp might fit into a semi derelict area that doesn't require you to buy lots of buildings and knock them down to build it that a straight ramp might. This is particularly true for pedestrian bridges where the curves won't slow down the speed of traffic.

London is at risk of flooding, especially if a big spring tide, a storm surge and a northerly wind coincide, as the wind pushes water down the North Sea into the Thames estuary, making the high tide even higher. The Thames Barrier is effective at the moment, but how long that will be is not completely clear.

Much as I love Jay and his brilliant and hilarious videos he does not seem to grasp that most people want FREEDOM and to progress to being Independent and having their own cars to go where they want, when they want, at a moment's notice though I never drive in Central London. When I used that Fartford Crossing 6,000 times workwise it took 30 minutes into Essex (though I did NOT travel in peak periods which are horrendous). THat SAME journey would involve Walking, Buses, Trains, and Tubes and take nearly 5 times longer EACH WAY so ONE Hour's return would be bearer FIVE hours.It ain't happening Jay.M8...

You make watching these videos a nightmare, stop start, rewind, rewind. Why don’t you just watch and listen then a lot of your inane questions will be answered?
