I go past that twice a day on the train.

It's definitely gone a shade of red over the past year or so.

I must have a bit of a leak, as it'll gradually start listing over to about 12-15 degrees, then the next time you go past it, it's back upright, as they've pumped it out.

Now that brings back some memoirs, when she was along side in the docklands two of us went up into the control tower one day, and they went mad <*<  they said it was so rotten we could have gone right through, also went to a stag do for one of the AMS members :-)) on board her.
