Anyone Got A Spare 200K

Hi
Just seen this.
There's bound to be a powerfully built company director with a bit of spare cash

There's no ways the yanks would let this sort of thing happen

Why do these sort of stories only get publicised when there is a week to go!

That very much deserves saving but surely it would cost a fortune each year to maintain it too.

Having been on a WW2 submarine in SanFransisco harbour, I can say that old ships like this are fascinating to walk around so it could become an exhibit somewhere.

Nice to save some heritage - but it is already overseas and the destruction process imminently pending - if you will pardon the analogy - surely the ship has sailed on this one.........

Good luck to them saving her.

And yet £200K is about two minutes of the country's spending on benefits*. It could so easily be done.

• I haven't done the maths but you get the idea.

Or MP's expenses?
Or the Queen's weekly gardening bill?
Or sandwiches at No.10

I haven't done the maths either.
