That's 94 years old Anne. Not my description of her, I have no grudge against her personally. I think she is a strong scrupulous woman but I despise everything she stands for and I resent the fact that our country is still tied to the obscenity which is the monarchy. The idea that some people are priviliged (or cursed) purely by virtue of their birth violates everything I believe.

@Cyklone Ahhhhh, then double down on my question!

My reference to 'Wrinkly' was NOT aimed at her age but at the 'Wrinkles' (lurks and perks, etc) that come with being 'Royalty' as per the ages old claim of being 'appointed and annointed by God to hold such an office.'
You can't seriously think/believe that EVERY time a member of the British 'Royal' Family goes visiting another country that THEY pay for everything from THEIR own pockets do you?
The actual TRUTH is that they INVITE themselves, THEN expect the peoples of the country to cover ALL expenses, demands, etc, from the Public Purse of that country.
Why do you think Harry and Co. decided to live in Canada, a Commonwealth (previously known as a Subject Country of the British Empire btw) Country instead of the U.S.A. for example?

@Triphid I have known that for most of my 71 years,and where did any ody even mention it? My comment was Solely on your use of a silly pejorative based on age, duhhhhhh....what is your problem?

@AnneWimsey I don't have any problem/s, but it seems to me that you, imo, may have a few that you need to resolve though.

@Triphid I'm not the one that thinks "wrinkly" is a slam......

@AnneWimsey In my opinion, and my OPINION only, have you ever comsidered adding in the letter 'H" to 'wimsey?'

@Triphid it is actually the last name of my favorite fictional detective from books by Dorothy L. Sayers which I took legally after my divorce, so, no

Hear, hear and the sooner the better as well.
