Do you mean 'ah the old pennies', or 'Are they the old pennies'. The rest of your reply seems to be gobbledegookD) Are the old PENNIES i personally love them, i have one of these, an original CARTWHEEL PENNY in fact - i used to have a PENNY CHEQUE too but it was stolen.
For a great many people, yes, IMO, but not necessarily AndrewIs there any such thing as NATIONAL LOYALTY left in Britain today ????
Then he should pay for it himself if he is that worried about his daughters. The only danger I can see for these two, would be the fashion police.as a father with such very lovely and beautiful girls as these two then i would certainly want all the SECURITY i could muster to look after them - especially in the UK Today with so many Illegal Immigrants and Murderers and Perverts and Drug Dealers that have been released into the community from prison early by our LOYAL Government.
Actually Andrew receives payment from HM and from the taxpayer, for playing golf whilst supposedly workingG) Its TAX PAYERS MONEY the entire family are spending.
We are talking about Andrew and afaik, he does not seek sponsorship deals. His job is supposedly to encourage international trade and encourage inward investment.I'm pretty certain that ALL of the Royal Representatives of the UK as a Country contribute to obtaining SPONSORSHIP DEALS for not only UK Businesses
Again we are talking about Andrew, who receives a payment separate from the allowance HM gives him, also from taxpayers money. No, I don't dispute that he does some work, just not enough to warrant his earnings.above all actually want the job - There wasn't much else he could do, he had to be seen working to receive taxpayers money.
I think this also applies to ALL of those Royals throughout the World that receive payments from their respective Tax Payers.
It might be better not to make your replies personal. The two sections of your post that I have placed in quotes should read - 1. I was impressed when/that I managed to get a reply from you and your willingness to debate some of my points. (I would also point out that the spelling is whoop). 2. If you are referring to the Who pop group then maybe, but as to whom I was thinking........1. I was well impressed with myself actually i managed to get one AND also a DEBATABLE out of you, WOOP !!!! - 2. If you're referring to the WHO POP GROUP then maybe but as WHOM i was thinking
But Bella, you would forgive him anything, whether he worked or not. He could do just about anything or nothing at all and it wouldn't matter to you.Tell us how you really feel, Sky. Ha! A bit harsh now, perhaps? I have to agree w goldeye: Andrew is perfect for his job for all the reasons listed. And believe me, I'm always alert to photos of P Andrew and there are very few of him on the golf course - he's always working!
I can not deny this, I will say. But - and there's always a but - the past several photos I've seen of him have been of him on some biz jaunt. Not the golf course. Tho I'd take pics of him on the course any day, too. Okay, I confess, I don't care what he's doing, just keep the pics coming.But Bella, you would forgive him anything, whether he worked or not.

The problem is there are very few photo's regarding his 'work', plenty of him coming out of clubs though! Some of the rejects from the Apprentice would probably do a better job, IMO, of course!
Here's a couple of hotties for you!I can not deny this, I will say. But - and there's always a but - the past several photos I've seen of him have been of him on some biz jaunt. Not the golf course.

Ah please don't go all bossy with me i'm only an illiterate vagabond on the quiet
I'm not getting personal i promise - i never do its just IMO as you put it and besides when it comes to Grammar etc i'm well out of my depth i can tell you.
NOT * gobbledegook * to those that understand i assure you i'm just getting my TWO Penneth in.
I have to disagree with your assumptions of who should pay the bill regarding the Security of any Parents Children when traveling around the world on behalf of their Country - i don't care who they are. If the man is not there to look after them himself then the Country should pick up the tab.
I agree with your FASHION POLICE statement - YEEK some of those outfits i'm a fully grown red bloodied male and i have to cringe myself. Mind you i do like the White Clothes they wear, so pure of mind and clean don't you think.
When it comes to who should be doing what i don't see how we can ONLY refer to one single member of an International Team of people obtaining Inward Investment on behalf of Great Britain.
This is just NOT HOW BIG BUSINESS is conducted and NEVER has been. IMO For any representative of a Country or whatever to not seek the best of anything is total madness and that includes Financial Sponsorship as well as Business Investment deals of any description.
I can promise you i imagine most of us have been guilty of Playing ARound when we should be working me included, when i was there i liked to Play a round or three in Kent i'd putt my balls on the green then Mark'am with my pennies all in works time i might add
(LMAO) And no i wouldn't know about the man and pole dancing or seedy nightclubs either, mind you i've been to a few myself i have to admit. Jees when i think back to the things i used to do for business
Hope you have a nice day
Great pic, Russophile!!! Both of them are nice looking men!! Tho you know I'm biased in favor of Prince A all the way.Here's a couple of hotties for you!

I hope not if you were an ex PLC Business Manager!Ah please don't go all bossy with me i'm only an illiterate vagabond on the quiet

As you were apparently replying to me, perhaps you would care to explain the, IMO, gobbledegook.NOT * gobbledegook * to those that understand i assure you i'm just getting my TWO Penneth in.
But we pay out whether he is in the country or not. We pay when these girls take holidays with their mother, when they go to nightclubs, parties etc. Their guards from the protection unit are there whether Andrew is playing on a golf course or tucked up in bed. The risk to these two has been assessed and found to be very, very low. Using your reasoning, that "when traveling around the world on behalf of their Country - i don't care who they are. If the man is not there to look after them himself then the Country should pick up the tab", then we should be paying for protection for every single serviceman/womans daughter, right?I have to disagree with your assumptions of who should pay the bill regarding the Security of any Parents Children when traveling around the world on behalf of their Country - i don't care who they are. If the man is not there to look after them himself then the Country should pick up the tab.
But we are talking about the massive payment (for expenses) that Andrew picks up. The figures do not include the salaries of the civil servants that accompany him. As I said, his remit is to sell UK businesses to international investors and to sell UK products to foreign countries. Imagine him as an ordinary salesman. If someone working as a sales manager came back from an all expenses paid trip to the Bahamas and said, 'I didn't manage to sell them any products, but they agreed to sponsor a race at the school sportsday, he would be dismissed'. (Well he would if he worked for me). So no, Andrews job does not involve looking for sponsorship deals as far as I can tell.When it comes to who should be doing what i don't see how we can ONLY refer to one single member of an International Team of people obtaining Inward Investment on behalf of Great Britain.
No, I can't say I have ever played around when I was supposed to be working, but as I am not in paid employment, my hours and days are mine to do what I want with. It is a pity you had to resort to pennies (old or new), when the proper golf ball markers are not that expensive, you can even get them in 22ct now!I can promise you i imagine most of us have been guilty of Playing ARound when we should be working me included, when i was there i liked to Play a round or three in Kent i'd putt my balls on the green then Mark'am with my pennies all in works time i might add
Oh, I already have!Hope you have a nice day

It is unfortunate that Andrew at a trade show or a leading a trade delegation is hardly good copy for the UK Press and as a result his work often does not get publicity - unfortunately, every time he steps onto a golf course or goes on holiday he is photographed. This is no different from the treatment of Charles in the 1990s, or Anne, in the 1970s and 1980s - both recovered their public image through continuing their hard work, and one would hope Andrew continues to as well.
That said, he could probably display a bit more judgement in the women he associates himself with, eg: the lady from Kazhakhstan that he took to the royal enclosure at Ascot last year!
Absolutely! Well put.That's a good point that holds true for all royals. If you're someone who never seems to do anything gossip-worthy for recreation, like Princess Anne, all the media can cover about you is your work. On the other hand, if a royal spends even 10% of his time golfing/hanging around with beautiful women and 90% working, the golf is going to get 90% of the coverage. Because who wants to read about economics in a tabloid?
Or of course, if you ensure any 'work' involves a round or two of golf....On the other hand, if a royal spends even 10% of his time golfing/hanging around with beautiful women and 90% working, the golf is going to get 90% of the coverage. Because who wants to read about economics in a tabloid?
Whereas, I read that when they asked tourists the prime reason for visiting the UK, it was the heritage sites, castles and the like, not the royals themselves. After all they are not guaranteed a sight of the the RF.I am sorry for interrupting a discussion about The Yorks and their expendetures, but I remember having read somewhere, that however much the British Royals cost us, they help the Economy earn much more, as millions of pounds are earned through royal related events, and tourism to the UK wouldn't be as high if it wouldn't be for the Windsors. The main problem is that they were born royal and not us
Yes, but having a real queen with tiaras and regelia does add much more apeal to us then just say...Germany, who has just as much heritage sights and castles. Believe me in my years of work abroad anyone knowing I am British had what to say about the Queen and her handbags. If you ask a tourist who has 3 days to be in England they go and do the round of the royals, Buckingham palace, changing of the gaurds, London Bridge, Tower hill, Windsor Castle and a whole bunch of souveniers with the Union Jack and The Queen on them. I, being a native of GB, whilst a long weeekend will take my kids to see the needles in the Ile of whight, hever castle in Kent etc.Whereas, I read that when they asked tourists the prime reason for visiting the UK, it was the heritage sites, castles and the like, not the royals themselves.
