On a 'mini break' to attend a friends wedding this after their tiring 19K a week holiday in the Caribbean. They make me sick.  ____________________ When I ride, I feel as if I transcend consciousness and enter a different dimension full of instinct. |

None of the people we (the mrs and me) speak to who visit the UK mention the monarchy. Not saying that's a representative sample or owt, but when the mrs worked on the tour buses in town the consensus was that tourists were essentially just ticking a box, as in okay this year we're doing the UK (London, York, Edinburgh, etc.), last year we did Rome, next year Prague. Those who say, well, the UK drew us here because unlike so many other countries, they have a conspicuous monarch, rah rah rah...well, anyway, I've never heard anyone say that. I have heard them talk about palaces, castles and such like. But of course those would outlast the tumbrils we'd cart their occupants off in.
My suspicion is that the loud, rotund cheque jacketed yank and his blue-rinsed wifey coo-ing and snapping the quaint beef eaters are long gone.
One last point - the monarchy doesn't "seem" unfair, it *is* unfair. You may or may not think it has benefits to the culture and economy that off-set this, but the unalterable fact remains - it's unfair. ____________________ "Life is a sexually transmitted disease and the mortality rate is one hundred percent."
