Harleyman Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I think she should be given a 60M yacht. She still has her sea legs and Prince Phil being an old navy man would be a proficient helmsman and navigator. A trip round the world on a luxury yacht would be a fine way to reward her for such long and devoted service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie48 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I no longer live in the UK but will probably have my obvious accent forever. People notice, so sooner or later, we are talking about it. Most people that I have spoken to who want to visit are interested in Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Lake District, the Dales and with a bit of prodding from me, the Peak District. I can't remember any of them ever saying they want to visit because of the royals. I realise that a great many tourists wish to see those lovely places,and quite right too. Isn't London supposed to be one of the worlds top ten Cities for tourism though? I think Buckingham Palace,The Changing of the Guards etc etc must hold some attraction for some people,considering so many visit in their masses.

Chris_Sleeps Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I believe we need a symbolic figurehead,the monarchy being the best option. Isn't London supposed to be one of the worlds top ten Cities for tourism though? I think Buckingham Palace,The Changing of the Guards etc etc must hold some attraction for some people What you've failed to take into account is that there is someone who is more iconic than the Queen, and more of an attraction for tourists.

mj.scuba Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Jeez, can't believe a supposedly intelligent bloke like Gove even suggested it, especially with the cuts going through his own department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politics aside I agree. Total disconnection from reality...or is the "reality" not real and we're just being fed a line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than his mother, who has ever said Gove is intelligent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
