Oh no!! The Cutty Sark has been devastated by a fire. Whatever shall we do? I know, instead of the £23m that's already been allocated to renovating a ship which didn't really do anything except bring shit loads of Typhoo from China to our shores in the 19th century, why don't we tack on another £30m to repair the damage done today? That's if there's any money left in the country that hasn't been allocated to funding the McCann family retirement...erm...finding poor Madeline I mean.
In 200 years will there be a Boeing 747 in Greenwich? Will Japanese tourists flock to it so they can learn how back in the 21st century we actually used these things to bring tea from the far east? Or will no one give a hoot as it's just a plane? My feeling is, if it didn't in some way contribute to the slaughter of the Jocks, French, Spanish or Germans, then it need not be preserved.
