BOATY TORPEDOED AGAIN

-

A NEW ferry in Sydney Harbour is to be christened Ferry McFerryfac­e – after Boaty McBoatface was snubbed again.

Australian city’s second voted for Boaty McBoatface but New South Wales state officials overruled. It’s the second time Boaty has lost out. Last year, the name topped a a public vote to name a £200million British polar research ship.

That vessel was named Sir David Attenborou­gh and one of its remote subs became Boaty McBoatface.
