Cutty Sark Burns

The Cutty Sark, last but one of the great clipper ships, was extensively damaged by fire in her dry dock in Greenwich.

It's like waking up and learning that the Mona Lisa has been splashed with paint thinner

The Cutty Sark in better days.

    Terrible. I remember going to see the Sark when I was a small(er) child. It's a fantastic boat, and I hope that it can be repaired back to its full glory.

    Oh, and if it was arson; then a keelhauling for the guilty parties.

    I wondered why the price of tea had gone up in Tesco's.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
