Here's where all the money went...

This is the Cutty Sark which is a very old boat. It's now standing splendid next to the newly constructed "Olympic Nando's"
The Queen will unveil it. I don't know if she's smash a bottle of Krug against the side of it in celebration of the being able to tack new bits of wood back on after it was horribly burned in 2007.
There's a whole, huge story about the amount this cost to sort out and the level to which the public money which was spent went to a worthy cause or not, but let's enjoy the moment for the Queen and the nation.
Let's try, above all, to feel better about our country. Afterall, the marketing powers have managed to get the Queen's Diamond Jubilee colliding with the London 2012 olympics in the same year.
Now it seems that the Cutty Sark is being incorporated into the whole design rationale.
I, for one, will be absolutely nowhere near this whole fiasco as it happens tomorrow.

What do you think? Is this a vital part of the nation's history, or a total waste of money when it could be being better used elsewhere? Comment...
