@alanhat5252 - Well I have taken this time to learn about the royal family a little more, Im not a Royalist at all. But I like to be educated. The story of the early life of the Queen nearly had me in tears. She wanted to live in the countryside and be a farmer. She hated Buck Palace, which apparently is still very cold and drafty now but was horrible in the 1930's. she had to leave all her friends at 10 and go live there. Apparently her time in the ATS was the happiest of her life, she felt like she was part of something, not alone and isolated... I dont thnk we should have a family we treat as our national private property, we get to comment on their every move and they get no say in any of this. I dont think they are privileged, I think they are cursed.

@alanhat5252 - Well they ahve left the Houses of Parliament to all but falling down status haven't they...??? Its not like the cost of maintenance is poured down the toilet - it pays crafts person wages

@alanhat5252 " chosen the name Charles III, it emphasizes the history & is a permanent reminder. Parliamentarians will be forced to say the name "King Charles" repeatedly." YES - I agree - I also think he will be a lot more vocal wiht his opinions on policy than we have been used to...

@alanhat5252 - Apparantly its so damp they cant dry it our or everything will crack - my sister has the same problem. Her house was built in about 1745 and they desperately want to insulate the walls but they cant alter the hydrostatic balance. You have to dry the thing out over about 20 years, they are thinking of just removing all the plaster off interior walls in one go to get it done. Its not like its a listed building - its a converted cow shed.

@paulm5443 - Actually I kinda agree, I use mechanical pencils for very much this reason. Pens annoy me.

@tomneile4025 - My mother dies at 60, she didnt get to live to 96, if a pen had leaked on me at the funeral I would probably have thrown it at the wall, I was a little distressed, to say the least. I certainly would not have wanted it all televised and picked over by millions of people.

@paulnugent9937 - OR - you could just be reading WAY WAY WAY too much into a stressed guy whose mother has just fl-king died getting angry with a pen that leaked ink onto his hand

@tomneile4025 - Has your mother died? Did you have to mourn on camera in front of the world??? Just saying...

@paulnugent9937 - Maybe - I just feel people should give him the benefit of the doubt for now on the grounds his mothing just died and he has to mourn in public on TV. If the guy is a right sh!t in 12 months - fair enough. Im not even a royalist. But when my mother dies I was in a right state...
