It is not given to me to start a threads on politics, I don't believe I have ever contributed to one either.
However I cannot let pass the comment from a conservative councillor currently skiing in the USA who wants the homeless and rough sleepers cleared from the streets of
Windsor before the wedding in May.
God forbid that visitors here to see an obscene and ostentatious picture of wealth and privelage should be confronted by the "have nots" of our society.

However it IS legal if it is “against the rear offside wheel of your vehicle.”

It is illegal for a person to urinate in public:

Public Urination and Sex Offender Registration. Prosecutors occasionally charge defendants
with the crime of indecent exposure or public lewdness. If convicted, these defendants face
the onerous duty of registering as sex offenders, a sentence that will follow them for the rest
of their lives.

I thought ( a human) urinating in public was illegal ? hmm

Jalima1108 Mon 12-Feb-18 19:45:45

Whoever it manages to catch djen

durhamjen Mon 12-Feb-18 19:38:08

For the dog or the woman, jalima?
I bet he doesn't do it over her wall.

Anniebach Mon 12-Feb-18 19:32:19

Stop comparing a human being utinating on a street with a dog

Jalima1108 Mon 12-Feb-18 19:31:13

You could keep a bucket of disinfectant water handy djen

durhamjen Mon 12-Feb-18 19:28:04

Stop being personal, Annie.

Anniebach Mon 12-Feb-18 18:35:58

Then why approve of a human being doing the same ? Stop the violin Dj, no one wants people to be homeless but thought has to be given to people whose doorsteps the homeless sleep on.

Can't wait for the happy couple to have a guard of homeless ex-servicemen om the day.

I don't like it when a woman brings her dog across the road, and it cocks its leg up against my front wall.
Should I charge her or the dog?

Anniebach Mon 12-Feb-18 18:26:14

They have been offered accomodation, and urinating in a public place is illegal, they can use public lavatories, no one wants the front of their property used as loo to be fair

Well done, Windsor. They really want to make themselves popular.

I thought Princess Eugenie and her husband to be seemed genuinely happy and very much in love. Good luck to them both. Who knows why some peoples marriages fail, it doesn't make any difference where you come from or who you are. Money and position doesn't make relationships automatically work, any more than relative poverty and insignificance automatically makes them fail.

So they do Bridgeit, I'm one of them, brought up by loving caring parents, stay at home mum - everything you could wish for. I married too young and divorce was inevitable.

Bridgeit Tue 23-Jan-18 11:19:52

many children brought up by loving caring mothers get divorced.

Anniebach Tue 23-Jan-18 10:13:07

That's unfair MargaretX, not one of the younger royals had/have a mother who is Queen

MargaretX Tue 23-Jan-18 10:01:31

Actually there are more couples staying together than statistics suggest. The divorced ones keep getting married and divorced and pushing up the percentages.
Why should the young royals get divorced? They haven't been brought up like the queen's children, but have had loving caring mothers. That's good for forming long relationships

oh double whammy for Windsor ...

Anniebach Tue 23-Jan-18 08:52:38

St George's, Windsor

jura2 Tue 23-Jan-18 08:50:50

Had a giggle learning that they met at our favourite family ski resort, Nendaz ('z' not pronounced Henery!) - in the 4 Valleys next to Verbier.

So where will they get married? And will the homeless be 'cleared away' for that one too?

Anniebach Tue 23-Jan-18 08:32:52

How about - very wrong eazy ?, she has lived there for years , perhaps it explains those hats ?

eazybee Tue 23-Jan-18 07:37:24

When I heard the news of the engagement I thought how nice, Eugenie can at last escape from her mother.
How wrong can you be.

Anniebach Tue 23-Jan-18 04:09:56

Sarah lives at Royal Lodge with Andrew, expect she pops into the castle often

WilmaKnickersfit Tue 23-Jan-18 01:44:39

I like Eugenie and think she'll make a beautiful bride. She's got a great figure. Fergie is really slim these days, so she'll probably look great as Mother of the bride. Andrew is a bit porky though, but he's got time to do something about it! grin

It looks like Henery wotsit is going to be leader of a party with just two members - the girlfriend and him! shock

Jalima1108 Mon 22-Jan-18 17:55:02

Well, at least they can't banish her to a pub up the road!
