Subject: RE: BS: New Royal Yacht...!
The song title you were looking for was: - "The Scottish Breakaway"
Our Royal family costs the Exchequer of this country (Note: Exchequer NOT Tax Payer) £32 million a year. The Civil List only has two recipients The Queen and Prince Philip between them they cost the Exchequer £7 million per year.
The Contribution of the Royal Family to the Exchequer not counting personal tax bills is somewhere around £320 million each year.
So a Royal Yacht can be bought for £80 million eh?
Look what you could buy for around $360 millionUS
Plain old Offshore Construction Vessel
