Popular Post andym Posted May 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2018 Don't really care much either way for the royal family themselves, but i will never understand the mindset of some of these people camping out days in advance, setting out their 'pitch' filled with flags and bunting, and sitting there with Union Jack suits and t-shirts with Harry and Megans face on it. The royal family supporting equivalent of full kit rocket polishers. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veloman Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 'Midlands Today' went to a school where the kids were having a pre-wedding party - all dressed up , flags etc. The presenter asked one of the kids what question they would like to ask the royal couple. I would have given king's ransom if the kid had said. " Id like to ask Prince Harry - does she spit or swallow" . Sadly that didn't happen . I'm riding a bike race on the A51 north of Rugeley so hope the traffic is quiet. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I can imagine Big John's presence really fires the lads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you'd like them dead? Seems a little extreme just to get some museums. I assume you don't know that (almost) all publicly owned museums in the UK are free to enter? Not much revenue from that.

I think what @Dr_Pangloss is saying is, if they were eventually phased out and all the buildings were left, would that impact the economic benefit of the Royal family? (Which is a myth anyway._ I agree - what difference would it make to tourism? Phase them out, and nationalize the palaces and the land. People can still come and gorp at them there just wouldn't be people living in them at the expense of everybody who works for a living. If you really wanted a tourist attraction you could hang them all in the middle of the Mall. One a week until they've all gone - that would bring in a few onlookers I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leighavfc Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I like many others cannot stand all this wedding b******s. I just looked out the window and noticed the neighbourhood watch alliance have their flags and bunting out ffs. Dont mind harry and will as they seem a bit more down to earth than the rest of them. For me i just cant understand how we spend millions on this lot when there are people starving etc. Its just well ott imo, the amount of properties is just ridiculous. I just do not understand what they offer or what they actually do for this country.. maybe somebody could educate me, but 30 years on planet earth and im non the wiser!
