They might be moving to California, apparently.

As revealed on the TV programme 'Loose Women' by a friend who appeared on I'm a Celebrity. Classy! laugh

And it appears that their promise to pay back the money for the refurbishment of Frogmore Cottage has yet to be fulfilled.

You did (unless you were a wet-wipe (which I have to say I never knew)


"swear by Almighty God (do solemnly, and truly declare and affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will, as in duty bound, honestly and faithfully defend Her Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors, in Person, Crown and Dignity against all enemies, and will observe and obey all orders of Her Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors, and of the (admirals / generals/ air officers) and officers set over me.

As your Commanding Officer being under colours is different. As with officers, you salute the rank even if the person is a dick.

What does that even mean? If you don't serve you are "taking" from the country?

Better tell that to HMRC I guess, I'm not getting my fking share.

No, he didn't. He's a similar RN vintage to me and the RN did not swear allegiance to HM QEII until late 2009 and even then, it was only new joiners.

Now get back in your box as you're talking pure bollocks.

That explains so very much about the vast majority of Navy types I’ve had the misfortune of working alongside.

I don't know what a wet-wipe is, but I definitely did not swear allegiance to the Queen, or anyone else.
