Really - I am very fond of the Queen, and some of the younger ones aren't too bad either, including Prince Charles (although I know he isn't that young any more).

We did get rid of our king once, a very long time ago, if you remember your history lessons, and then we decided to have one back again.

The folks who you consider to be our royal family, AFAICT are Germans and Greeks. What in particular makes them "ours"?

Sorry Admin :oops:

You have your opinion and your welcome to it, for me they are a bunch of spongers and all they are good for is continuing the disgusting class system we have in this country but I will conceed one benefit, when the queen pops her clogs we will all get a day off work, hopefully in the not too distant future. :twisted:

Not if your new job entails getting a Pharmacy, classed as essential services you wont get the day off. On another subject does every-one know that boxing day this year falls on a Saturday not classed as a bank holiday this year you will have to wait until the Monday to have your boxing day off :cry:

Thank you brother.......the revolution is nigh :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Sorry I'm a bit late with this, but I've been cleaning for the last two days (Friday and Saturday changeover days).

Concerning the Royal Family (again),
where do you think British people came from?

It has now been proved that we are all descended from 'mitochondrial Eve' who lived somewhere in Africa (query Ethiopia) around 150,000 years ago. Thus none of us are 'native' Britons - all our ancestors came from somewhere else.

Anyone that has studied pre-history knows that the U.K wasn't permanently populated until very late on in the history of mankind, because of the ice ages. The ice ages didn't end until around 10,000 years ago, and ever since then Britain has been populated by successive waves of 'immigrants'.

We have had people from somewhere in the region of Iraq, the Celts from central Europe and Belgium, the Romans from Italy, Jutes and Angles from Denmark, Saxons from Germany, Vikings from Scandinavia, Normans from France etc. etc...

And during my lifetime we have had the Jamaicans, the Pakistanis etc. etc. and just lately we have had the Eastern Europeans - the Poles etc.

So, I would say the current Royal Family are very representative of the multi national modern nature of Britain.

I see similarities in that they arrived, were given property, money and rights, IOW modern economic immigrants. Just look at how they prospered.

I recall no-one seeking my permission for me to fund their extravagant lifestyle.
