The bill is something around 30 million quid. If that were paying for teachers wages, assuming they get around 25,000 a year that is 120 teachers for year. That is quite a lot.

Do you not just love being a "royal subject?"

This man John Harris does interesting talks about common law and the law of the sea, which does relate quite a lot to do with laws associated with royalty. I recommend watching it as it goes into a whole lot more than that,

No, I'm not going to watch the royal wedding. I'm even going to avoid all TVs and radios so I don't have to hear about it anymore.

I think it's fab. All of my non British friends are coming round here to watch it. We're going to have tea and scones. And I'm sticking up my Union Jacks. (But that'll have to wait till Friday just in case the natives get frisky and burn them down. 8O )

NBC news has the royal wedding countdown. :roll: :roll: WHO CARES! Sure the woman is lucky to marry a prince. I thought that royalty has always married royalty. Queen Elizabeth married a Duke. I don't know much about UK.

They can marry who like, unless the Queen says no or they're catholic.

Really it's that much I'll look in to that one. Their are comparable countries who offer "free" education and (much) poorer ones as well, why would you make education less accessible and prohibitively expensive ?

As disagreeable as it may sound to some I wish we had a Gough Whitlam as a leader some misinformed conservative commentators like to own him for our economic woes, really what was going on at that time ? world oil shock any one :roll: anyway I'm rambling he was probably one of the last Labour leaders that represented true Labour not a watered down conservative party which is what they are these days made some massive reforms in that regard , free education ! yet the selfish boomers that profited from his policies took it away . Is their a generation that is more selfish, they created the generation of the dead beat dad. after all .

I think Judge Judy ( one of my heroes) is right when she goes ape S%IT at welfare dodgers especially so the ones that claim they pay for nappies etc :roll: :roll: :roll:

I might watch it if I'm bored. One thing that is getting annoying is all the media hype about it. It just like in school, you are not cool unless you watch it and worship the royals.

Nope, not a fan of royalty or celebrities in general.
