Opinions on the Royals will always divide and that’s as it should be.

However, under the Darwinian theory, they that won’t or can’t evolve will eventually become extinct. I am pretty sure William will be the last of his kind, not that I will be about to see it.

Indeed so. She swore an oath when crowned and I reckon she's spent the last 70 years staying true to that oath. Would that the same could be said for so many others involved in the running of this country over those same years.

I'm not sure you have a full grasp of Darwin's theory Wink , but I think William is the one that is changing the role as he gets older. I can see him being very different to the Queen and Charles (assuming Charles ever gets to be King).

The jubilee weekend will be good for us as it will give us time to be with the grandkids Thumbs Up

However as a small business we have to fund the extra day off for employees. I wonder how much the extra day is costing businesses?

Why will it bring in loads for the Exchequer? People only have a given amount to spend so if it's on this it won't be on something else. Result is the same tax take for Rishi.

 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
