    A republic would bring more money in. Think how much public money could be generated if we opened up all those Royal residencies every day of the year, and if we auctioned off the enormous Windsor-Schicklgruber-Hitler-Saxe-Coburg art gallery. quote]



    OOOOhhhhh, that would be some turbolisting on ebay!!!!!!!! I'm after the tupperware!!!!! Think she has a mug with my picture on it??????:confused:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Well done Minniespender for quite an amussing post! :T

    Shame on the idiots who have far to much time on their hands who have ruined what was meant to be a light hearted thread! :naughty:

    If you really care that much I'll give you the bloody 62p myself just to shut you up! :mad:

    Seriously: how can you say something like that, you dreadful liberal! How dare you commit Thought Crime against our omnipotent God-on-earth! Have you no respect for Romans 13:3, 'Obey the powers that be'!

    Dreadful liberal, with your mad-hat ideas on social equality before the law and an end to aristocratic privilege! Ye blaspheme!

    Thank you SS!

    If anyone would like to send me their 62p monarchy tax, I'll put it to much better use. Queue up in an orderly fashion with your postal orders. :D

    Surely those who write drivel are wasting their time more so than those who are writing productively on what is actually a sensible topic?

    If you really don't care, don't post. :naughty:

    Aren't you contradicting yourself, because you are writing drivel! :rolleyes:

    If you care that much start a thread in discussion time! :naughty:

    Thank you Eoin - it is a sensible and quite serious topic. The article in the press today was, IMHO, a sop to calm the masses down. "Look how cheap they are!" etc. There's a lot more to the debate than 62p. Worth consideration.

    EDIT: yes, SS, maybe discussion time would be a better place for this. But I originally intended a little (shock! horror!) amusement.

    You're right. I, and many others, have discussed this contentious topic in the wrong forum. I will now make my way into the correct forum where I will not be infringing on the negative liberty of my fellow MoneySavers.

    I shall now locate my whip and self-flagellate for an hour. I encourage other blasphemes to do the same.
