HMS Wellington

[Snowgoose-1]

Don't wish to clog up the forum but this famous ship can be viewed soon on Emankment.
This legendary World War II ship in London will soon open to the public

Got me interested, but then...hello.. London is not on the East Coast. Blatant Cockney advertising.
However, noted for the next time I can afford to venture into the Capital / Smoke.

Tidal bit - definitely the East Coast

errrr.......81 metres..........wash your mouth out boy.....

 

[Egret]

265 ft 9 inches when it was built, but Timeout magazine readers may be younger so can't visualise feet.

Have you never seen a younger person shuffling with a measuring tape to see what the metric measurement is, when you are speaking in feet and inches.

 

[ex-Gladys]

Err, my stride is pretty much a metre... Longer than a yard and my arm span in 2 metres!
