Prince Charles Becomes Eligible For His Bus Pass Today. He's 65

[sandyRoe]

If these lyrics were tweaked a bit would you sing them before drinking his health?


"Here's a health unto His Majesty,
With a fa la la la la la la,
Confusion to his enemies,
With a fa la la la la la la.
And he who would not drink his health,
We wish him neither wit nor wealth,
Nor yet a rope to hang himself.
With a fal lal la la la la la la la la,
With a fal lal la la la la la."[4]

bus passes at 60 if he lives in London. Thought I'd seen him on the 38 last week.

Happy Birthday Charlie.

Does he qualify for the winter fuel allowance now?

Many Happy Returns of the Day to you Sir.

Don't get the freedom pass from 60 if he lives in London

cupid, yes.

Don't suppose the fuel allowance will heat many rooms in his palaces. He'll just have to throw another valet on the fire.

[cupid04]

I meant to say doesn't he not don't he, lol!

[FredPuli43]

And he gets his pension, if eligible; surely he has a NI number. What is it now, £107 ?

Happy Birthday to him.

[anneasquith]

why would he have a NI. number ? he works when he decides.

[sandyRoe]

He'd have needed one when he was serving in the navy. And when he puts the form in to claim his pension he'd need it again.

[Spoonboy]

Another freebie for HRH.

Doesn't he know it's rude to point?

Great photos, aog

His nanny must have told him that it is rude to point at people you are conversing with, sandy.

He must needs point in other circumstances. How is one to direct one's gardeners or draw attention to something specific, in the crowd, to one's wife, otherwise ?

[sandyRoe]

Why are flunkies employed? One would turn to one's butler and say, 'James, point at that(insert relevant object of interest here), there's a good chap.'
One doesn't keep a dog and bark oneself.
