Indeed. Like mine. I didn't have any employees, but a lot of freelance contractors saw a line of business dry up because of two critical contracts being pulled.
I'll send you a bill for my £1.38 shall I :wink:
How fat is a "Fat rats Ass" :shock: :shock:

I have finally got around to checking the facts on taxpayers money and the Royal Family.
Apparently I wasn't far off with my estimate of a piece of cake and a cup of tea. According to the Telegraph (29th June 2009) they cost us £41.5 million last year, which is 69 pence per person in the U.K. So, since my husband and I both pay tax and we have 2 children who don't yet pay tax, that's £1-38 from each of us, assuming we are average taxpayers. This would just about buy the Royal Family a cup of tea and a piece of cake at a charity event. And I think this makes them very good value.
The only thing I know about the Duke of Edinburgh is that he is the Patron of the Duke of Edinburgh Award, which my younger daughter is doing, and it seems to be an excellent thing. The children have to do voluntary work, learn a new skill, take part in sports, and go camping in the wilds without (much) adult assistance.

Plenty of other businesses we could say that about

Yeah, I knew that.

I used to think it was a lot of money and a bit of a waste but realistically it isn't an obscene amount of money and indirectly they probably make quite a lot of it back.

Actually I don't give a fat rats ass how much the royal spongers suck from the pockets of the UK populace. This is a skiing forum, for general chit chat, try Snowheads.
