Bah Humbug! Brunel was a showman really. He built lots of stuff, sure, but he is most famous for his shameless self-publicising. Thats the only reason people really remember him. An equivalent from our age might be Norman Foster crossed with Richard Branson, or something along those lines. And I've already made my views on Churchill clear elsewhere... mutter mutter grumble grumble...
