    Post The Royal Family - a soap opera

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 




    Jeremy Clarkson had a brilliant idea in his publication "The Royals, a soap made in heaven." He presumes, that the life of the Royal Family is already a soap opera recorded by paparazzis, and a meaningful role should be given to the family for the expenses they impose on taxpayers.

    "We turn the whole damn shooting match into a reality soap opera, stripped across the week's TV schedules with late-night updates and a big publicity machine to feed the morning papers.

    At present the cost of the royal family to each taxpayer is 60p. That looks like bad value when all the key players ever do is open stuff and talk to vegetables. But 60p a year for a five-times-a-week soap opera. That would be the best value television in the world."


    What do you think?

    Life is full of surprises and you never know what you're going to get until you get it; always expect the unexpected.

    Great Idea.

    The Royals = employees/actors = brilliant.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    I bet Harry's gutted that Nick Griffin isn't coming to tea anymore. They could've compared uniforms.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    It will be an upper-class version of "The Royle Family" starring 14 different corkies.
