Those royals wasting money again

I do wish you GN's who refer to the Queen as " queenie", wouldn't. I don't think any of you are saying it in an affectionate way, but correct me if I'm wrong. To me, it just sounds unkind. I'm neither royalist or anti royalist, either, by the way.

Should be “sadly I am not” ......

I agree, Mapleleaf and have said so many times.

She deserves more respect.

gillybob and paddyann So with you on this!

Mapleleaf, I say queenie can’t recall others doing so.

All that has been said about the queen in this thread yet you find ‘queenie’ unkind.

I wonder why

I thought it was from Blackadder (which I love) Mapleleaf and don’t find it offensive in the slightest.

I too loved Blackadder Gilly. ?

I do wish some posters actually understood how & what the Royal Family ( apart from hand waving etc etc) do & are responsible for. I don’t really care what you think of them but at ,least take the trouble to check out facts before pouring scorn on a system that is part & parcel of this country.
If they didn’t exist, there would still be poverty, inequality etc.there are so many factions at play as to why there is so much inequality through out the world, removing Queenie & her family from the equation would alter nothing, ( except alot people would be out of work) at least do contribute in many ways,if anyone who is not in favour of them would care to take the trouble to find out. Either way our own lives will be just the same. We on here all have computers, some people still don’t have clean water to drink ,so taking the high moral ground seems a tad hypocritical .

No Anniebach, I'm sure others have said it too, not always in this thread. I just dislike it, that's all, as you are wondering.

"not just in this thread" rather than "not always in this thread".
Not singling you out, "Anniebach* - I've seen The Queen referred to as "queenie" many times in lots of threads. I dislike it, that's all.

No not wondering Maple Leaf, amused why you found queenie unkind compared to what has been said about her on this thread

I'm keeping neutral on the many comments, Anniebach, in case I get shot down in flames! ???

I think I’m the evil stepmother on this thread mapleleaf Exactly as Annie said calling her maj “queenie “ is in no way unkind.

Queenie is a little faster to type than The Queen ?

HM is even faster to type

My preferred option of her maj . Keeps getting changed to her man so it takes a while .

I don't have this predictive text so any spelling mistakes are entirely my own!

HM means another key to press, I will stick with queenie ?
