It would be a democratically elected Head of State something like in Ireland Not France or USA

More people visit France palace of Versailles than Uk

So RF don't bring in tourists don't work hard
Can't stop Johnson and his government breaking rules

So what is the point of them?

Callistemon I don't agree with your opinion of my posts they are not lies.

I think you'll find that H&M have caused a lot of of offense and heartache certainly to their families particularly Harry's elderly grandparents and his over generous father. Disappointed and let down the R.M, Invictus games, the people of Africa whom he purported to care so much about, the people of this country by calling us racists, so much so that they had to flee!! The quiet private life was a fabrication, the list is endless. Frankly if we never had to see or hear from these two self centred greedy patronising low lifes, it would be too soon!

I really wouldn't think I could speak for the people of Africa or even for the Invictus games. As for families I think all families have their problems some try to present a frontage which says everything is OK, whist all sorts of animosity goes on in the background, others try to face their problems. One common theme is that in a family with problems one member is labelled as the bad element, and the source of all the conflict. What emeges is that when that member is removed the conflict continues, and another member is then labelled as the bad one.

I'm a fairly moderate old crone and I'm relaxed about the status quo which I prefer to a presidential system.

If your posts werent quite so full of prejudice, hatred and lies, grany, I might be more interested in them.

If you think that the RF are costing too much, just compare France, think of the Champs Elysées and the Hôtel de Matignon. How many people go to visit them and how many people visit Buckingham Palace.
It isn’t just the French President who is paid but also previous French presidents who are also housed, have people working for them, including two drivers and free transportation etc. Some of this is passed onto their widows. Moreover the presidential elections are held every few years. Therefore the Prefects are changed, housing interiors are refurbished, all costing money (granted they can chose from a huge warehouse). There are always scandales somewhere popping up.

If there wasn’t Buckingham Palace where would those huge official dinners and parties be held?

Hate, adoration, worship , keep it up trisher

trisher Mon 28-Sept-20 18:09:54

My comment refered to the general theme of the posts and didn't name anyone, as I said - if the cap fits... I really cannot see any reason why people hate someone they don't know so much. H&M haven't caused anyone any harm or actually done anything which hurt anyone else. It really isn't to do with them but with posters own perceptions and prejudices. No matter what they do they will never satisfy that.

annep1 Mon 28-Sept-20 18:03:31

Please excuse my typing errors. In bed atm.

annep1 Mon 28-Sept-20 18:02:14

I haven't read the comment that Anniebach is talking about trisher but I do feel that it would be better to address the actual comment being made.
Leaving aside my views on the monarchy, as far as H&M are concerned I don't understand why they are criticised so much more than any other member of the RF. And I see nothing wrong in H giving his views or advice.
As for the housing..The list of rules is absolutely ludicrous imho. I don't think any other developers would dare.

eazybee Mon 28-Sept-20 17:59:31

I don't think Anniebach is embittered;

neither is she 'an old crone.'

trisher Mon 28-Sept-20 17:45:34

I've always ignored Annie's attempts to take a thread back to something said some time ago. But as far as "embittered old crones" goes . I am and would freely acknowledge I am an 'old crone' so there is nothing ageist about it. As for embittered if the cap fits.... I can be critical but would allow anyone some freedom and leeway, which many seem unwilling to allow H&M.
As for the houses PC is selling I wouldn't dare I'd be sure to miss one or more of the rules and be run-in for a plastic something or my washing showing!!!!

annep1 Mon 28-Sept-20 17:38:40

Point taken Anniebavh. But sometimes I would like to hear your views.

Grannypiper lots of folk may welk be happy ti purchase. There is a housung shortage atm. However the restrictions are utterly ridiculous. And its supposed ti be a mixed income area but many of the restrictions would exclude cheaper products like pvc fascias etc not allowed. Door fittings must be solid brass. Sorry, there are so many it is actually funny.

Oopsminty Mon 28-Sept-20 17:32:10

I rather like the sound of those houses.

MerylStreep Mon 28-Sept-20 17:30:25

I read the rules. The only thing I'm surprised at is the ban on solar panels. And him an environmentalist ?

Anniebach Mon 28-Sept-20 17:17:26

annelp sorry I cannot disregard trisher’s mocking, she called posters on a M & H thread - ‘embittered old crones’ ,

No point in a discussion with anyone who considers age of posters to matter .

grannypiper Mon 28-Sept-20 17:13:40

annepl Read the lists of do's and don'ts and i have to say if i lived in Cornwall i would be more than happy to purchase one of the homes.

Anniebach

Like watching paint dry, she will gaze at him ,he will gaze at her, they will say how they will save the world, he will make
speeches and she will be ready to jump in should he hesitate.

They may sing ‘All You Need Is Love’ and private jets

Anniebach - love it! grin grin grin

Grany Mon 28-Sept-20 16:28:28

You can't buy the land your house sits on, its feudal, in the Duchy Also roads owned by Duchy are not maintained it's all take nothing put back.

Seriously. Look at the rules. Lol.

Callistemon Mon 28-Sept-20 15:47:41

Meanwhile Charles is using the Duchy of Cornwall to extend Newquay and provide more housing (that's if you can afford £250000 for a 2 bed house). Laying down the rules of what you can and can't do

It sounds wonderful, attractive, well-planned with a school, shops etc. Just what the County needs and I hope this is copied nationwide.

The key, the Duke of Cornwall believes, is to create mixed-use and mixed-income neighbourhoods with integrated affordable housing all within walking distance of shops, leisure and community facilities and green spaces.

Typos, sorry!

£250,000 for a 2 bedroom house in Cornwall is quite a reasonable price.

Yes, it is, young locals have been priced out of the county by 2nd homers.
^ Laying down the rules of what you can and can't do^
Presumably not allowing them to be sold to rich yuppies for second homes.

£250,000 would be a bargain, particularly if there is a help-to-but scheme.

annep1 Mon 28-Sept-20 15:41:02

Regardless of words used (dwvotion) Anniebach what are your views on the points that trisher is making?
