The Cutty Sark

[Pevenseagull]

and it was in the middle of a £100 MILLION restoration or something f***ing stupid like that

and there's another one in Ayershire

and it's only a few bits of wood and metal

 

[coventrygull]

I think its very sad. If it turns out to be arson

 

[Les Biehn]

f*** me gently with a club hammer, I HATE people like that

Really? You wouldn't mind?

 

[JJ McClure]

Looking at the remains on TV this morning any restoration would mearly make it a replication of the original ship with a few original parts!

Only saving grace being that as it was in the middle of being restored a fair amount of the decking was apparently off site.

 

[Safeway]

Insurance job innit.

 

[Brovion]

more likely to restored with lottery money than out of the NHS budget I'd have thought.

The point I was trying to make was that every time money, regardless of its source, is spent on something 'frivolous' (Wembley Stadium for example) someone always says it would be better spent on something 'worthy': "Why spend millions of pounds building yet another football ground when we need more hospitals?"

We don't all lead (or want to lead) the joyless existence espoused by the 'liverpool one'.

the publicity will probably help raise millions from the SAPS that are the public

To be fair, he does live in Liverpool (I assume). He has no choice apart from joyless, oh and self pity of course.









And robbing.

 

[liverpool_one]

Nice to see a southerner rather than a northerner perpetuating that tired cliche.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

yeah great lets restore it we cant give life saving drugs to cancer sufferers but as long as we can save an old piece of wood then we should all be happy.

The point about not dying is that people who don't die can enjoy the marvellous things that life has to offer.

Visiting the Cutty Sark has always been one of those marvels.

 

[liverpool_one]

still amazes me that alot of people jump to the conclusion that if you come from liverpool or live in liverpool that you must be a robber or you are always feeling sorry for yourself yet most of these people have never been to liverpool for any amount of time cos if they had they would not have this view.
ok liverpool has its problems but no worst than any other city in the uk.

Why not, they won't care, they're dead.

Can you back this up with some figures? I'm sure there are cities less worst.

It still amazes me that people make the automatic assumption that people who comment from outside Liverpool have never been there, spent any serious time there, know any scousers or anyone else that has spent any serious time in Liverpool.

Stick to the hand wringing mate. You've obviously got that down to a fine art.


And of course if that fails there's always hubcaps. La'.

Like the grants we will get to build Falmer

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Considering tourism generates LARGE sums of money for Britain it would be churlish to say "Sod it! Let's not bother spending any more money on these things."

Liverpool One - How would you propose to make up for this loss of income? Higher taxes?

 

[liverpool_one]

when you take into account how much it will cost to restore how long will it take to recoup this amount from tourism.
higher taxes are fact of life if we dont get charged for one thing it will be another.
