Unfortunately all this talk of the london eye is rubbish too.
Tussauds paid BA £95m and in return BA wrote off the £175m debt it was owed from the Eye.
This debt was built from £48m that BA loaned the Eye to get up and running and interest on the loan at 25%. Seeing as this interest was eating up all the profits it was a smart move to take the £95m and run.
As for BA closing and restarting - dream on
