FREE-LOADING councillors apart, why was the city’s welcome for QE2 so invisible?
Would it not have been nice to have had some quality food vendors and stalls along Princes Parade (like those at Hope Street Feast) during the liner’s visit for the thousands viewing Britain’s most famous ship? Why was there no welcoming band, such as the King’s Regiment?
In St Petersburg, such musical ship welcomes are de rigueur – usually playing Beatles medleys (why did not we think of that?). And was this not a case for a sprinkling of Portaloos to help relieve inner stress? The trouble, Jeeves, is that we have no sense of style.
