The movie about the restoration clearly shows that once the initial budget was passed savage cost reduction measures were taken and people were reshuffled. The head of the Cutty Sark foundation seems to of sacrificed a great deal personally to restore the ship.

The glazing should of been flush with the ground rather than humped up but surely BD should focus on the larger failings this intervention represents.

At least when the Victorian's were incensitive the did it with bravado rather than middle mindedness. This country is failing because it has rewarded the cost cutters, company production incentifiers,job slashers. Cost analysts, and efficiency consultants in favor of Artisians, Architects, and Engineers and craftsmen.

Yes, criticism the Architects intention, yes criticize the execution but do so with a fair and even hand otherwise BD you are only supporting the culture that lead to the winning entry.
