Oh, and that 66pence doesn't go into the Queen's handbag, does it?

Every penny has to be accounted for.

Would she pay, out of her own money, to keep all the palaces and castles going, all the history and the pageantry? Of course she wouldn't. I've no doubt she'd be bankrupt in a very short space of time, but...I guess that would make you guys real happy.

And hey, you could all frame your 66 pennies in gold, or wear them as a necklace of triumph.

Go and join The Sealed Knot, then you can chop off Charles I's head over and again, whilst beating up the Royalists. At least you could get your anger out in a different way. ;0)

Oh, and the NHS has had MILLIONS and MILLIONS poured into it, and yet things are still so terribly wrong. That's not lack of money, but money being directed to the wrong places and decisions being made by people who've no idea what they're doing, or how hospitals should be run.   I know, I used to sit and listen to the guys I worked for, tearing themselves apart over how St. Bartholowmew's was being run, by people whose main interest was themselves, and 'making a point' rather than listening to doctors, nurses and surgeons. Put the NHS back in charge of the medical staff far more and watch it start to bloom again.
