Got absolutly drowned tonight watching the QE2 sail, but still a good night.
Got talking to a guy where else but from the 'North East Tourist board!
Now that Royal Quays is finally finished being modernised he said we can look forward to many more cruise ships coming to the Tyne next year as they are realy pushing it to be on cruise ship companies schedules.
I said that was great but how or who on earth came up with the (I use the word likely) 'music' played from the barge when the QE2 came in, it was like a listening to a dying whale!
Apart from that I think they did a great job.
He went when I mentioned how nice visiters will like Royal Quays, but how about when they look out the other side of their ship and see the derilict old 'Middle docks' and when are they going to spend a few more millions tidying that up also,or better still make it a cruise ship dry docks and make some real jobs for the lads! :-)
