Have they no shame ?
Maybe I should not have thrown away my Gary Glitter signed album from the early 70s.
Should have followed the Royal example and however tarnished a free gift is always ok to keep.

Should we return the royal crown of India? Currently worth over 4 million pounds and stored with, but not part of the crown jewels?

[anneasquith]

" the uk would have no crown jewels ", oh my, now that would be a problem .

[jackthehat]

The OP doesn't like the nobs and their ways......(despite, curiously, having affixed SIR to his name).

[mccfluff]

i dont understand the benefit scroungers bit?

[Teddy_boy]

He seems to be having guilt issues related to his gary glitter album. It may have something to do with the signing? As in signing on?

[mccfluff]

i'm even more confused, i think i shall go read posts by elderman in r&s, they might make more sense

[SIRandyraven]

Sorry the title confused a few :-)

@Jackthehat - Guess we have somehting in common , we don't like nobs :-)

[SIRandyraven]

@teddy-boy - if you'r into collecting memorabilia from a convicted child rapist , then I would have sent it on to you.
For a small fee ....Guess that quip will go over some peoples heads.
That was a tongue in che.... Oh never mind

[Teddy_boy]

No, cant help you there.

The Royal family are on state handouts ...In my view that is the same as benefits. Worth millions if not billions , however still take money from the state.
Someone who accepts gifts on the back of someone else's cost is a scrounger.
ie It was a state funded trip.

[jackthehat]

Yes. Get rid of them. And what will you do with your additional 60p per annum?

[mccfluff]

but they do work, ok its not the same as sitting in an office 9-5 or working on a construction site etc etc

and i'm not a big fan of the royal and i know they are extrememly privilged but they do work

benefit scroungers are the assholes who take out but never put in and i dont; think you can accuse betty of that

[SIRandyraven]

I could at least have the choice what to do with my 60p a year.
I don't remember being given the vote on if I wanted to fund them or not ...even if it is only 60p a month.
But if it comes to it ...I would pop my 60p into a charity box and let the money go to a cause that needs it.

[jackthehat]

Bless...........you really DO have the grumblies, don't you?

[SIRandyraven]

They create there own work , to justify there existence.
Simple as that.

[SIRandyraven]

@JTH - Nope not really. It's just that they annoy me. But hey ho , I'm not the only one it seems. A few MP's feel the same and the popular press have picked up on it also.
When the old Greek fella pops his clogs , will we get a day off ?

[mccfluff]

still work though and having to be nice and smiley all day, has got to be hard hard work, i'd last about 10 mins and that's pushing it

I don't know much about the royal family but I saw a special on Prince Charles and he seemes like a genuine article. Charity and good works is how the Royal family came across and that they spend a great deal of time and effort doing just that. Charles seems like a guy worth knowing even if he seems sad.
