Perhaps, in the interests of portability, we could revive the
punt gun? Admittedly, this would require equipping Gatwick
with suitable waterways and punts, but I feel that that would
be all to the better. |

Crawley could become the Venice of West Sussex. |
|
| |
Although it's said that Birmingham has more canals than Venice, so perhaps Crawley could become the Birmingham of West Sussex. Oh, wait ... |
|

More usefully, Crawley could become the Amsterdam of West
Sussex - a far more interesting prospect. |
|
| |
Indeed; Amsterdam is below sea level, so if Crawley became "the Amsterdam of West Sussex", then a couple of hours' brisk work after midnight with a Black and Decker, and morning would reveal the whole place under five or six metres of salt water. |
|
| |
Then it could be "the Atlantis of West Sussex". There's no downside ! |
