QE2 to be scrapped
Heard a rumour that due to the economic downturn, the QE2 will be either sold on, or scrapped due to hideous maintenance costs.
Anyone heard the same or shall I put it in the "palm is sinking, Sheikh Mo has been shot" bin ???????

apparently not, DH knows one of the PM's on this and he is under the impression it will go ahead, I can't see it myself.

to be honest, I can't see it going ahead... I mean, the plan was/is to completely gut and refurbish it - that's going to cost millions - AND the overheads while it's just sitting there can't be negligeable either.

Maybe it will spring a leak and sink?

Cleaning it up first could cost a bit though.
