A question posed yesterday on Radio 4 .... and the first one to say 'Nigel Farage' gets a custard pie. ;o)

Hmmm

The Palm Islands in Dubai?

The tallest building in the world, I forget what is the current contender?

The bridge/tunnel link between Sweden and Denmark?

The UK's Benefits System!

But still, you've got to wonder at how he's become so popular...

He's like the racist alcoholic uncle you can't help but invite to a wedding reception, partly out of politeness and partly for entertainment value Jim :)

Hi, Naomi....I suppose man made structures are not the wonders they once were....we have the technology and means to do amazing things now. Not that we seem to use them well....☺
Wonders of long ago didn't .....which makes me think...wonderful...I wonder how they did that?!

For me a serious wonder is the internet.....and my Sat Nav.....

I wonder at how quickly Amazon is on to me when I mention on AB I need a new drill......
I wonder at how the Sat Nav gets me to my daughter's house in four hours when it used to take me seven.....and trips into many unnecessary counties....x

I agree with the others, the interweb has to be high on the list

The ISS?

[boxtops]

....mind you, aren't these things 20th century rather than 21st....?

Nanotechnology
LHC
Higgs Boson (the proof of)
the Millau Viaduct
the A380

[gness]

I'm sure they were, Boxy.....just that I trailed behind a little.....well a lot really though I did run the school library computer in the 20th century.....after a fashion.....☺

I'll second that vote for the Millau viaduct. It's really astonishing.
