Fuji Shooter Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 It is over 10 years so not so bad and the tourism will more than cover it. Money better spend than benefit handouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckandswing Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 National monument full of heritage and grandeur. Worth every penny in my eyes. I do rather like the Queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yod dropper Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Civil list from the govt. to the Royal family is something like £30M pa, income from the Crown Estates to the govt. is something like £300M pa. 1st revamp in 50 years. Looks like the govt. is quids in. Edited November 19, 2016 by yod dropper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 She can't take the house with her when she passes away. Did you have productive days at work when there were bank holidays for Royal occasions ? The royal family cost each tax payer a massive 56p per year each. Imagine what you could do with that !! the cost of the works goes back into the economy, generates jobs and benefits the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd probably spend the money on tacky Christmas lights and stone cladding, so good luck to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B25Modelman Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I also don't have a problem. Many years ago we were lost in car so stopped by the front gate, within microseconds we were pounced on by cops....blue flashing lights and all...PLEASE move on SIR. Ohhhh OK.

Westley Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Maybe she should have taken out the 'United Utilities' Plumbing and Drainage Plus insurance policy, only £6 for the first year ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditchman Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 im not much of a royalist....its the perifery that i have a big problem with............i havnt a problem with liz&co......it was our fault anyway as it was built on a swamp and on the cheap.....the country needs a focal point and thats it (houses of parliament....different matter........50 tonnes of gunpowder should sort that problem out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Not a big fan of the Royals being a republican at heart but happy to see the money spent on what is our heritage and cultural heart. Would like to get a look round one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 The building belongs to the country really and is a total icon that brings the tourists in! Should we just let the place crumble ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy bingo Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 she is worth every penny wonder who else is still working at 90 yo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I suspect she works a fair bit harder than many on here that would begrudge her the cash. Considering she pulls in far more than she costs I would suggest we carry on as we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crowdie2013 Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 It's the royal hangers on that boil my ****: in my opinion there's only a need for a handful of them say Queen Charles Ann William and his 1/2 brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
