Just an observation; that Lady Sarah Armstrong Whasserface ain't half got a set of choppers on her

Would have loved to have played for her - often imagine myself on the roof of Buck Palace in place of Brian May.

Probably not:Originally posted by Martin Scroatman View PostWell I think she does a fantastic job - 90 years old and still going strong.
She's a wonderful ambassador for Britain and long may she continue.
Look at all them tourists that come in every year to stand outside Buckingham Palace in the pouring rain to watch the changing of the guard.
Do you think that's going to continue when whatever ghastly presidential alternative our system would inevitably come up with is in residence?
Changing the Guard can sometimes be cancelled, especially in wet weather.

I think most would vote to keep them. They bring in a lot of tourist revenue.
I would like to see BuckPal turned into flats - Royal family can move to Windsor.

As soon as she goes I echo the comments there should be a referendum so we can ditch them.

Personally I think she has done an exemplary job during her reign & no complaints there - she will be a hard act to follow
However once she passes we should have another referendum to see if we want to continue the monarchy or turn Buckingham Palace into a Travelodge
