The bridge itself is equally beautiful, if I remember correctly it's the oldest suspension bridge still open to vehicles. A gorgeous piece of engineering.

Yes as i took the bike over as i left. You will get a car or small van over but as its a tourist attraction i find it odd there is no turning points. Folk in campers must get caught out if sight seeing. Such a quiet and tranquil place.

Either you've wandered into an Impressionist painting or your conservatory window is a bit smeary. :D

Why wouldn't you run a business critical system on Windows 2000 and MSSQL2000?

At least it's virtualized on a modern host.

Same reason as companies running IBM CICS/COBOL systems way past their sell-by date - 'cos that's what they'd got and it still, mainly, worked while they could get people to support/maintain it?

And a 'brioche' bun? Are they flappy wristed or what? :roll:

(Mind you, the patties look like they've been fried into ice hockey pucks and the 'cheese' looks like yellow polystyrene).

Barf.
