** hums ** lol

OMG Goerge I would edit that statement about goody ole Cliffy you get linched on here.,...pmsl but you have a very good point ....

I know it's abit off topic but Jax reminded me.
The late Queen Mum was visiting Sevenoaks once and all the shops had bunting up etc but her car went up the High st and not the road where I worked.
My mum and I and a friend decided to share a cab home after work and as it started off the Queen Mum's car came towards us on her way home. My friend wound down her window and waved like a maniac shouting "Hello Queenie! " at the top of her voice, which the Queen mum must have heard but she smiled and waved so graciously with a definite twinkle in her eye. My friend was chuffed!
Sadly she is no longer with us either.

raises glass to the queen .

god bless her and her family

totally agree with George.

Would anyone like to be the Queen,and put up with being in a goldfish bowl?

Like B C I love the pomp.No one can compete with the way we do that . It brings in a lot of revenue.

I also agree that the minor royals are a waste of time,but Princess Anne is a hard worker,and we don't always realise the amount of work they do.
If you look at the court circular in,say,the Telegraph,it will list all the functions they are at.

I'd rather a Monarch than a President anytime,and I hope we retain it.

I was going to say i dont mind either way really

but

ive decided no do away wiv em cos when i was a kid they made us walk 2 miles in the piddling down rain to see the queen for her silver jubbly and she didnt even stop the car, not even a pigging wave out the window!!

And when i met prince Charles in Aldershot when i was a kid he thought i was a boy and that aint on at all, I mean how many boys do you know called Jacqueline fgs

I think that well justifies my case lol

It would be Gordon and Sarah.........they weren't even voted in either!

I respect and admire the Queen, and Anne seems to be making herself useful quietly and effectively. Charles however seems to be the epitomy of the upper class twit,he did apparently fail to recognise or grasp the skills required to operate a tea bag. Perhaps he should follow the example of an illustrious ancestor and clear orf to France with his bint. Andrew appears to have a good head on his shoulders but seems to be incredibly self centred. The majority of the hangers on seem to have no grasp of REAL LIFE. Their main worry seems to be where the next banquet is coming from.
Having said that do we really want a republic with Tone an Cherie as el Presidente??? I sure as hell don't.

Oh George, I went all shivery then.........!

I have no problem with the close royal family, BUT........I do think Andrew and Edward should pull their weight a bit......what do they do??

xx

Personally,I dont mind as long as they pay their way.

The government are more like parasites than the royal Family,In My opinion.

I have never held any regard for the Royals,we could well do without them,and make better use of the Royalties.this counry has lined their pockets well.....

Do you not watch the news much George ...its now King Gordon

** Helps BC put up the bunting **


God s a v e OOOOOOOOOOOur .......

I have always believed in the Monarchy - until Charles 'grew up',

I feel the true Royals will end with Elizabeth 2...

... the national joke will start with Charles

sad to have one of our precious parts of our history end.

I think they do bring in a lot of tourism and therefore money to London, they maintain some 'national treasures' in terms of houses, parks etc and art which otherwise might be lost to America etc.
So from that point of view think they are probably 'worth it'.

Certainly wouldn't want to get rid of them to bring in a 'president' a la France ....I think when William becomes King we will possibly have more of a relaxed monarchy ,similar to European royalty perhaps, Certainly think some of the 'lesser Royals' should pay their own way, but think most of them do now.......what's Andy doing these days?lol
