The British Monarchy

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Why is it every king charlie we have, tends to be a lover of a bit of depsotism and acting the bastard

The second one was okay. And pretty fair. And certainly pragmatic. If there was a King of England who was most like me, I’d like to think it was him. A lover of life.

Pondering tongue in cheek time.

I just wonder what we used to do when our store opening hours were Monday to Saturday 8 to 6 or 9 to 5. Wednesday half day closed and Sunday closed all day?

My dad’s shop in Miles Platting closed on a Sunday and a Wednesday afternoon (when he played golf x2). Many happy memories of that place.

Yeah because "Acting the bastard" is a quality much maligned and instead should be celebrated.

Under a clause agreed in 1993 by the then prime minister, John Major, any inheritance passed “sovereign to sovereign” avoids the 40% levy applied to assets valued at more than £325,000.

King Charles will not pay tax on inheritance from the Queen

Monarch is exempt under 1993 agreement but Charles will pay income tax as his mother did

@urban genie his dad was a **** though. Poor judgement, hubristic, impetuous. The worst combination of characteristics in a leader.

Makes logical sense if you want the monarchy to continue in current form without topping it up all the time (which the tories do).

If they pay did pay inheritance tax on country estates they would be forced to sell off their royal residences to foreign undesirables or Andrew would rent them out to his dodgy mates.
