If the British people all hate the Royal family so much, why do they still exist? Is there any movement to get rid of the lot of them? I would think that the money used in the upkeep of royal residences and palaces could better be used for things like teachers salaries and such. Im just curious.
Edit: I know the Royal Navy and Marine types I served with in the 80's all seemed quite dedicated to the Royal family (but this observation also seemed to cause some consternation among the civilian british here on IW) [ 11-01-2002, 11:22 AM: Message edited by: MagiK ] |

Well that helps me get a better picture of hwo things stand then. Obviously my exposure in the 80's would lead me to believe that "Queen and COuntry" was nearly a universal rally cry, however...I guess the guys with the planes, bombs and guns may have a different view than the average citizen. Well As you said Epona [img]smile.gif[/img] Their homes at least make wonderful tourist attractions [img]smile.gif[/img]
