So us plebs should switch to horse and cart and keeping warm with blankets, but it's ok for Prince Charles to use a helicopter to fly to a horsey day out?

[ofcorsa]

Nope I'm on board with this message, I shall no longer use my helicopter to save energy.

[Soov535]

I have immense respect for Her Maj, but this bloke is a hypocritical nob.

[HoHoHo]

He's no better than that other knob jockey Andrew.

Make them pay their own way and see if he still uses the helicopter.

Idiot.

[Otispunkmeyer]

Prince Charles can STFU. What a fking plank.

[Esseesse]

Nice helicopter.

[0000]

I don't mind using energy saving lightbulbs if it means I can have a helicopter.

[Moonhawk]

Tell you what mate - i'll endeavour to stay at least 1kwh behind you - how about that.

He's been listening to his geraniums again.

He's just a fking nutter, no understanding of how the real world operates.

As to 'reduce your energy usage' this is OK for cost savings but not for any green myth reason leading to hypothermia in the elderly over winter, or keeping people in developing countries in poverty.

Reply: 'reduce your verbal diarrhoea output'.

Were you not outraged enough when this was first published 4 months ago or are you just a slow reader?

How do you use a helicopter to save energy?

Park it on its tail and use the rotors as a wind turbine?

It took 4 months for my hamster wheel to produce enough energy to power up the laptop.

Game set and match!

As for the latest HRH output on greeny gibberish, we ought to feel sorry for him, it started to go wrong after he was caught by the porritts.

A painful thing to happen, with long-lasting symptoms.

Charles may yet adopt Eric's excellent idea, he's daft enough (HRH not Eric).

Not changed much since March.

He was up at Sandringham this week, riding around in a horse and cart, closely followed by two RangeRovers, carrying no one but the drivers.........

[Foppo]

Does anybody still take any notice what Charles comes out with?

He lives in a bubble.His mother should have abducated years ago and he should have been king by now.It would have give him some purpose in his live.He is in his sixties wondering about what to do with himself.I bet Royalty often think how they get away with kidding us on over the years.

+1

HMTQ, Phil the Greek, William, Harry, heck even Camilla I like but there is just something about Charles which doesn't sit well with me. I hope Charles becomes King when he's almost 80 and is then only in the job a handful of years before William takes over.

This is what he did a few years ago:

Prince Charles has been accused of hypocrisy for planning a 7,000-mile round trip to the US to pick up an environmental award later this month.

The prince, accompanied by the Duchess of Cornwall and 18 officials, will fly to the US to collect the Global Environmental Citizen Prize.

Environmental campaigners said he should accept the award via video link.

Clarence House said the award ceremony was part of a two-day visit which would highlight environmental issues

Then a couple of years later he did this:

Prince Charles is being accused of hypocrisy after it was revealed that he is chartering a luxury private jet for a five-day tour of Europe to promote environmental issues.

The Prince and the Duchess of Cornwall, plus ten Clarence House staff, will fly from London to Rome this evening. Then they will fly on to Venice and Berlin, before returning to Britain.

Clarence House aides stress that the trip is at the request of the Government to promote its climate change policies.

But instead of using scheduled flights, the Royal party has hired a private plane, thought to be an Airbus A319.

According to experts from the Carbon Managers company, which carries out environmental audits, the aircraft's four European flights over 2,200 miles will leave a carbon footprint of 52.95 tons - nearly five times the average person's 11-ton footprint for an entire year.

Each member of Charles's party will leave a carbon footprint of 4.41 tons - 13 times more than if they had used a scheduled flight on the same type of plane, which can carry up to 156 passengers.

The flights on the specially converted jet, which boasts a master suite with its own lavatory and shower, will cost an estimated £80,000 - five times more than business-class fares on scheduled airlines.

Scheduled flights would cost £1,525 per person, a total of £15,250 for the Royal party. They could have included a British Airways flight from London to Rome (£200), Alitalia from Rome to Venice (£528 economy, no business class available), Lufthansa from Venice to Berlin (£597), and BA from Berlin to London (£200).

Last night Clarence House refused to confirm which type of plane Prince Charles was using or how much it would cost.
