That's so cool!
I expect this is the thread where we discover that 95% of PHers are monarchists
I'd say they're at areal high at the moment and probably 95% of the UK are moncarchists - let's face it, they certainly pay their way now and are a pleasant salve to the swathe of egomanics running the country!I expect this is the thread where we discover that 95% of PHers are monarchists
I'm sure their popularity will wax and wane as it always has throughout history.

80% apparently, but only something like 45% support Charles to be the next King.I'm sure their popularity will wax and wane as it always has throughout history.

Thought it was a fairly well known fact? Why does it surprise you?
I knew that HRH can and does drive but just not so enthusiastically or so many miles.She really was shifting there at one point! Further proof that slow drivers are losers - most un-pensioner like.
In an age of emotional incontinence and 24x7 dirty tweeting linen tedium, she’s a good example of the benefits of respecting yourself by keeping your mouth shut and keeping your private self just that – private. In over half a century, she’s never once made a fool of herself – few public figures, royalty or not, manage to last a month these days without putting their foot in it to some extent.

Charles should let one of the PH lot (or a PHer.. Memememememe...) loose on his Astons rather than p****ng about with buildings. That would do wonders for him round here.

Is there not something missing from this picture?
Instructions for the transfer box...................but no shifter for it.
Or has her Maj been trialing a prototype Terrain Response System since 1981?

Apart from mention of her days in the ATS, why are so many referring to her as HRH?
Liz hasn't been HRH for what, let me think... must be something like Sixty years!
It's HM. As in HMS, HMRC, HMP etc.
As for her Landrover pilotage, I believe this was her en-route to this morning's proceedings:
Image shamelessly stolen from a thread in GM.

I can't find it, annoyingly, but if you think HM is a bit of a demon you should see Philip drifting the st out of a freelander while Trevor McDonald tries to remain calm and interview him.
