I have not read on here, so I'm probably repeating what has
already
been said:

There was a building attempt in 1974, but, as usual, we Brits got
scared and pulled out after several miles had been dug, much to
the
dismay of the French.

there?
It really is a pain in the backside trying to make sense of who said
what once you have contributed something to a thread.
