Inches? Yards??
Shouldn't the measurements quoted here be metric? Alright, we still use miles, and I like aa pint as much as anyone, but this is describing a work of engineering and in that field I don't think anyone in the UK uses inches, feet or yards. This will just have people reaching for the conversion tables...Girth Summit (talk) 14:03, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
The shell roofs
This article could do with a section on the shell roofs. They are made with glued laminated timber ribs covered with cross-boarded softwood and clad with stainless steel. They were fabricated in Liverpool and shipped to the site on coastal barges. Dendrotek 20:38, 11 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dendrotek (talk • contribs)
You might want to add references to the barrier as it related to the Queen's Jubilee
Hi, I first heard about the Thames Barrier when it was mentioned during news coverage of the Queen's Jubilee; I thought you might want to add something about that here. 75.18.215.50 (talk) 22:35, 27 June 2012 (UTC)Laura
