Isambard Kingdom Brunel was not a man to faf around was he. He never even got to see her sail her first journey as he died of a stroke. You've done a lot if you've died at 53 and achieved as much as he did.


I went to see the SS Great Britain in Bristol recently. It's the best museum I've ever been to. Highly recommended.
