I wonder is there an ABer who could set up a fund raising scheme to save the Ark Royal from the scrapyard?

[sandyRoe]

Perhaps if there is anyone feeling suitably contrite..................?

scrap has to be at least £120 a tonne i reckon, going by new steel prices. Just have to sort the metals out.

i know someone who used to buy the old planes, lots of gold in the wiring of those things, made a nice profit back then

The first Ark Royal belonged to Elizabeth 1st, there has always been an Ark Royal since then, they'll build another

I was thinking the cheques should have gone to Mollykins. She seems to have a talent for fund raising.

[Bbbananas]

Mmmmm. As good as Molly's cause is, to her, I would rather save the Ark Royal. May Malmaison Hotels could renovate it ?? I'm staying in the old Oxford Castle Malmaison Hotel in May (a former Prison), so I'm sure lots of people would love to stay on the former Ark royal.

Will you not find slopping out in the morning a bit of an embarrassment, Salla?

[Bbbananas]

Nah - so long as I have a bone china p1ss pot ;-)
And baby wipes.
