Sounds a bit like the one I heard about when they were designing Telford -
the tracing paper slipped, which is why all the roundabouts are so big

Drawn in centimetres, built in inches?

The story goes that the Leeds Olympic Pool was a centimetre or so too short
to qualify.

But press stories are just that, I never measured it so can't be certain. We
never got the Olympics here though and the pool is now closed so that's one
less attraction for 2012.

I hope.

sorry - wrong thread...
