GUEST ~ Name the Dukes of this and that who get funds from the Civil List. I know of none outside the immediate Royal Family.
"Ownership brings out the worst in people;" Does that include your ownership of your car, Suibhne, or the shirt you are wearing, or the book you have been reading or the CD you have been playing or the DVD you have been watching? If not, I ask again, where does the cut-off point come?
The tenants in the house next to mine appear most contented with their lot; the owner of the property keeps it in good repair and they seem to have a perfectly rational business relationship. It is all to easy to generalise from a particular adverse experience of one's own; but not, I feel bound to add, a sign of a particularly intelligent approach to a general question.
