    I delivered carpet to the QE2 warehouse on the Quay by your works. Near the railway. I also took carpet onto the Royal yacht B in Portsmouth dock a few times. It was my area in the early 90's. I have loads of mates down there.

    Can't see a seal ( tiger or not ) not wriggling out and taking a dip periodically!

    Straight demolition is much more humane for those emotionally involved. One of mine took ten years or so to die, eventually nibbled to death in a Shanghai dock. Mind you I never quite forgave Hoegh Ugland (as they were then) for buying one of my early ones, chopping the superstructure off sitting a damn great box on it and calling it a Autoliner.

    I designed part of the Royal Yachts ventilation system.
    As for carpet I can't remember how it was fixed on warships ... I never really looked at it apart from to check the steward had hoovered it correctly.

    I was a shipwright on the Victory and worked on a few other warships & submarines.
