Hey Lena. My comment targeted to the fact that in Britain they have a lot of royals which do not much besides representing. Keeping it down to the center of the Family
Monarch and spouse and crownprince/crownprincess and his/jer spouse is enough. The rest of the family can/should go working. Just in the cas that something extraordinary happens crownprince/crownprincess do not have any children or die by accident or soemthing else they can get back again. Why should they wait all their life that something like that happens?

It must be a new part of the plant because they have had one there since 1964. It´s a heat and power plant. It collects waste(general trash) from throughout southern Sweden and uses that to create energy. Maybe it´s a new waste-incineration plant perhaps at the site. We shall see.

Ouch. Aren´t you just tempting the Gods a little too much now?:)
