The monarchy generates revenue from worldwide tourism which is a benefit for the whole UK economy and doesn't go into the monarchy bank account. There is no personal greed for the monarchy generating revenue that benefits the UK economy. It costs money to employ staff and security needed to accommodate the public visiting Buckingham Palace. How much do you think you've personally contributed for the existence of Buckingham Palace? Yep, that's how you make us feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norbert Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 When Charles and Diana got married I stayed in my bedroom all day. The day of Diana's funeral I went for a lovely quiet walk. This time I've been asked to work, so I get paid to avoid the sh*tshow. Life does get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to the reasons why normal members of the public queued for hours and days in the case of the 2 unknowns to pay their respects to our Queen is of interest to many television viewers. It's weird, because St Vitus Day is 28 June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife watches them but I've never seen a Royal wedding in my life time. That's why God gave us Sheffield parks & in later life, pubs, so people like me could avoid them. Missed every one since Princess Anne's to Mark Phillips yet after that one, contributed financially to them all in some way. There's a trick I missed. Rather than marry my missus, I should have gone after Princess Anne. I could have ended up a Vice Admiral by all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 It’s heart warming, really is, to learn Sheffield Forumers are not all a bunch of rabid royalists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not a Royalist but i certainly am a nationalist Im proud of our history, our culture and our impact on the world I think the global reaction to the Queens death proves that having a Royal family is a positive thing and it has more pros than cons So why should we get rid of them?

It is heart warming to see the love and respect being demonstrated by the majority of the world. It is heart warming to see the magnificent way the armed forces and others have performed their duties. It is sad that at this time a few people have to show their disrespect and lack of loyalty, but it demonstrates how few people there are with such an outlook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleasantly surprised that the Queen was so well thought of abroad, not surprised about the others as there will always be some with differing opinions.

PRESLEY Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 The BBC are nearly as obsessed as West77, the coverage is OTT, I've never really minded the Queen but I can't stand the rest of the disfuncional family, she had a lot to put with Phillips Womanising, he was lucky she was Queen because divorce was scandless back in the day or otherwise he would have been long gone, then she had Mixed up Charles messing about with Chamelion whilst with Diana to put up with then Que the Perv Andrew getting involed with the Porn star Koo Stark then the Epsteen Sleeze, not too bothered about Edward failing in the Marines and becoming a Ballet dancer and as for Red Rum look a like Anne, I'm not bothered about her either, I lost favour when she made two really bad decisions, one being in 1966 when 116 children died in the Aberfan Disaster when it took her 8 days to turn up after being prompted several times by Harold Wilson then it took her 5 days to show her face when Diana died. Two Major insensative clangers dropped there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleNarrator Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Apparently two police officers have been stabbed at Leicester Square. Sounds very dramatic but apart from a headline banner on GB News I'm hearing nothing else about it elsewhere like on BBC and Sky as of yet.
