I went to a lecture about the QE2 on Monday night at the Queen Elizabeth Terminal in Southampton.
I was expecting a journey of adventure detailing her adventures and the people who sailed on her. What we got was a catalogue of under spending, cost cutting and poorly thought out refits and some poor management decisions at Cunard throughout her early career. It was like listening to the demise of the British Motor Industry.
At least she will receive the love, care and proper investment at her new home in the sun.
Long may she rest in peace.
