Huh? Clearly that’s incorrect.
ha, yeah okay you have me there but what I meant wasdirectly linked as in “ooooh the queen lives here on HMG, expense”
I guess the tower of london would also go against me in a “oooh look this is where the muppets killed each other for power, hey guess what we still have a mnarchy how quaint” kind of a way.
What i was getting at is that the “royals as a tourist attraction” concept just doesn’t stack up. the HISTORY of the royals does but that doesn’t need them to actually be in existance. As footflaps mentioned, the French manage a fantastic tourism trade despite knocking the royal nonsense on the head aaaages ago.
in what way isn’t the Queen magnificent?
In what was IS she?She could have pulled the plug on Andy years ago but didn’t. The only royal i have a shred of sympathy for is Harry for telling them to do one. Charles talks a good talk about the enviornment but last I checked they still have nice big shooting estates which somewhat undermines his stance on the whole thing.
