hmm right back at you GM

All the "what's your favourite" threads were slightly less boring than some on here at the moment.

Are you sure you're OK to be out on the mean streets so late?

Just so long as I can have a refund for all the things I don't want my money spent on, Frank

When a funeral happens for a normal citizen cars and lorries are allowed on the same road at that time.
Why should it be any different for the Royals.
It cost my employers money to postpone the office move.

Truly hard done by.
Did you have sole rights to your London street then Frank?

Well merlotgran.

Why not make it say £20 for people who want the royal family and give other people their 62p's back.
I did not agree with having to postpone an office move when Diana passed away.
The funeral cars had no more right to be on the road than our removal lorries.

We've already discussed this many times on GNet, Frank but I would like to say they're welcome to my 62p. Money well spent in my view but I know there are plenty on here who think differently and I don't have a problem with that either.

Frank , do you think that will ever happen ? Notwithstanding , I love your thought process.
This I am sure , will start a great new thread . I will not be around to see this as I am away in Mauritius for a fortnight from tommorrow .

As many people do not want the Royal Family these days I think that no tax money should be used to pay for the royal family.
What they should have is voluntary contributions from people who want the Royal Family and wish to pay.
