Income to increase by 5% next year, god bless her Majesty. Great news for the Queen and the Nation that there are some happy stories amongst the ongoing economic difficulties.

And who cares if it cost the tax payer an extra £900,000 last financial year as long as she's happy...

Why is the monarchy a "modern" success story? They've been ripping off common folk for thousands of years. That's not modern, just more of the same.

after all, she is the worlds biggest land owner.

Whilst that is 'nominally' true, how far would she actually get if she rang up Fox & Sons one day and said: "One would like flog Australia. See what you can get for it"?

Then she'd have to pay the rip off fees of Fox & Sons :lol:

I don't think she "owns" Australia anyway - the Aussies might have something to say about that !

Someone needs to direct Simster to this thread - it would at least provide an afternoons entertainment !

If she's thinking of selling Australia, tell her I'm interested - I picked up a shed off Gumtree last week and been looking for somewhere to put it. Australia would be perfect.
