I was thinking of heading over to Greenock for this but having to change trains at Paisley for a journey that is less than an hour long is putting me off.
I know it shouldn't but it is.

QEII Arrives at Greenock
I am told that when the QEII was passing Irvine at about 10.00am the local KFC went on fire and images of this were captured on the Web Cam on board the QEII.

Could I just point out that its the QE2 and not the QEII... it isnt named after Queen Elizabeth the 2nd, its just the 2nd ship to beat the name (As a bankie why)
