Do Yahoo not know the difference between the Forth Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge?

Question

They've put up a story about painting the Forth (Rail) Bridge, and accompanied it with a pic of the Forth Road Bridge.

Answer 1

The Forth Bridge ( Rail ) was started in 1882, and  opened in1890 at a cost of £2.25 million. Grossly over built due to the tragic collapse of the Tay Bridge which it replaced

The Road Bridge  was constructed in the 1960s and completed in 1964 when the Firth of Forth ferry ceased to operate. There had been a ferry there since the 11th century.

So basicly one for trains and one for Road

Answer 2

Now you know how we feel when americans point to the Tower Bridge, going 'London Bridge is falling down .........'

Answer 3

Thats why America got London Bridge, when the thought they were buying Tower bridge lol

Answer 4

Answer 5

Yahoo is based in America.  They must have some regional correspondents or get news stories from local sources.  However not many people in the world know the difference between the two bridges.  I'm sure there are a lot of people outside of Scotland who live in the UK that don't know the difference either!
