Hmmmm

Not funny at all, but in the UK there have been several instances of construction work for foundations boring down by mistake into Tube tunnels. This mostly isnt carelessness, but shows just how difficult it is when the Victorians didnt exactly leave perfect records.

I sometimes wonder if there is any soil left at all under London, its all tunnels, pipes, cables and left over concrete foundations.
