    They've got some respectable engineering talent, but I get the feeling it won't be built for 5-50 million pounds. Due to London's fairly unique geology (among large cities), structures like that need very complex and expensive foundations. That's why there aren't many skyscrapers in London, outside of the financial district (Canary Wharf).

    If I were a betting man, I'd bet the plan would be to use the initial funding to begin construction, then go begging to the government for the extra £100m required to make it work. #thecloudlondonbubblesspheres

    @Curves: There is no such thing as "london fog," it was the haze from when they burned coal in their households and since they outlawed that practice 100 years ago it has never come back. #thecloudlondonbubblesspheres

    @Matt Flick: I have spent years wanting to go to London to SEE the fog (and have tea with Her Maj, and tickle a Beefeater, etc) and your telling me there IS no fog? Next thing you know, someone will be telling me there is no Santa or Tooth Fairy or Great Pumpkin...... Thanks for crushing my dreams. ;) #thecloudlondonbubblesspheres

    @toblathe: I had to look that up, since I had not ever heard that term. I see what you mean, but the Urban Distionary had some VERY interesting definations of this that term and they do not involve pancakes. (The stuff I learn at Giz!) #thecloudlondonbubblesspheres

    @toblathe: I clicked on the link with some trepidation, fearing it might have been video of definintions 4 or 5. Yes, I was greatly relieved. I am still pretty upset about London not being foggy though. I feel like my rain coat has been lying to me all these years.... #thecloudlondonbubblesspheres

    @PurpleMonkeyDishwasher: : I think it is important that cities, states, and countries fund projects that make towns interesting, unique, or quirky. I think that's part of the allure of living somewhere.

    If they didn't, then you might as well live in old Soviet Era Eastern Block apartment housing... #thecloudlondonbubblesspheres

    "Balance on Charlie Sheen" could translate to free money and I still wouldn't push it. OK, there was that one time, but it was a daylight savings day, so that hour didn't actually exist.
