Letter: Wibble wobble

Published 23 December 2000

From Mark Simpson

I read with interest the article about the £5 million of damping
required on the Millennium Bridge in London.

May I suggest it might be far cheaper to set up a Ministry of Funny Walks to
encourage pedestrians to walk out of step. I’m sure John Cleese would be more
than happy to act as a consultant to the project.
