Admittedly, this would require equipping Gatwick with suitable waterways and punts, but I feel that that would be all to the better.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Dec 23 2018 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 ...-- 8th of 7, Dec 23 2018 More usefully, Crawley could become the Amsterdam of West Sussex - a far more interesting prospect.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Dec 23 2018 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 !-- 8th of 7, Dec 23 2018 Strange.
