What do you think about the Yank marring into the Royal Family?

[Grumps]

Tony lol!!

I have nothing against Harry and his brother and I have nothing but admiration for Harry in particular for what he did in Afghanistan flying in dangerous conditions he would've been a big prize for the Taliban. Hope he has a better marriage than his mother was allowed.
I'm just generally not interested in the Royal family and their outdated traditions and customs. From what I hear HMQ had a face like a bulldog licking p*** off a nettle most of the time she was on camera. Roll on the next generation I say!

Tony.

'Outdated and Traditions' in the same sentence? Oxymoron buddy That's the whole point of the Monarchy is it not? 1000 years of tradition. I agree that it needs a mild refurb but once it's gone it's gone and that would be a sad day IMHO.

Not saying I want a republic Andy, just would like them to adjust to the modern world. As for those two young men don't forget a whole lot of their mothers hard life was caused by their own father and the Royal family shunning her.

Agreed mate and appropriate change is on the way and once HMQ dies i think there will be big change. As for Dianna Princess of Wales, yup, had a tough one and never stood a chance but the Prince of Wales was from an era where he was expected and pressured into getting married, Di was wheeled in to supply an heir and a spare whilst he had his mistress and life long love that he was not permitted to marry. As an aside I think when the time comes Charles should turn down or be bypassed for the top job to aid the continued modernisation.

I think what they need is new management mate and we agree on most of it, shall we apply

Tony.

It would be a tremendous show of trust for Charles to do that, but, if he did, he should be allowed to take his rightful place as monarch to pass it on immediately if he wishes.
Two kings crowned on the same day. That would be a spectacle.

Yeah though I can't see it happening personally mate, be nice though.

Been raining here for 6-7 days straighe. Streets are flooded, basement taking on a bit of water, walk the dogs in the rain............They said some sun on Monday...............Frankie

Rain? What's that, then? Here in wet Wales there's a strange yellow thing in the sky, been there for over a week. Bit scary, and everyone's going a bit pink.

Big Royalist me, great to see the World's number one family (outside mine) moving with the times. Puts the UK in the shop window of the World for all the right reasons, hope they and all the well wishers have a great day. Met HMQ twice and she's spoken to me in person one of those times, she's a World legend and is revered around the World. Other views are available

Blimey, i read that a bit too quick and thought you had said HMQ had spoken to you in prison hahaha

Think maybe we should run a thread - "What did the queen actually say to Andy McDonnell?"

She said 'Oh, I've seen those before' and 'do you wear boots over the boots you have on?

Point one: TACR2 - Truck Airfield Crash Rescue MK2, we used them as a rapid intervention rescue vehicle on the Airfield, Harrier Force and The Queen's Flight.

Point two: We had a reversed chromed blue leather fire boot at the time.

Pics to come

Airfield TACR2

Harrier Force TACR2

The Queen's Flight ones were Royal Blue, obviously.

Dodgey fire boot
