Lol, there's a thread like this running in most forums. They usually end in virtual fisticuffs.

It's the Media just stirring it as always.......The Queen just wants a quiet life, wouldn't anyone at the age of 82?

I don't balme the Queen but her 'Advisors'.

In the current climate, where people are struggling with food and fuel prices, maybe to have said nothing would have been wiser..............................

I think we ought to get a trust going at Coutts as happened when Windsor Castle went up in smoke.
Although I'm only an impecunious passerine, I'm prepared to start the ball rolling with the following:-
A hazel-nut that not even my mate Rookie can open
Something which might be meat, that a picknicker threw at me the other day
A shiny tin lid that I was saving as an heirloom

"From each according to his means".

Perhaps all the foreign tourists, who are always cited as a good reason to retain the monarchy, would care to cough up.

Isn't this a bit of a personal thing to be asking about her Majesty? At her age?

Oh!

Hard up.

All men leak.
