Windsor. Great 'parking'...

[Aperitif]

Have you ever been locked out of anywhere and used your vehicle as a battering ram? 'Our' Duke of York was keen to make an entrance the other night - following an important trade conference no doubt.
I once inadvertently cycled along the 'private' road to his Lodge and was suddenly welcomed by 'a few' cops in no time at all. Funny how this non-news gets into the public domain, non?

Just been reading about this in the Standard.
What a dickhead, him.. not me...

 

[raleighnut]

Probably pissed at the time.

Are you sure? You were reading the Standard.

I've just checked... definitely not.

From the article

The damaged gates are currently closed for repair.

So did he open them or not? EMNTK.

For a minute I thought this was going to be about the car park by the river. £6 per hour. Liberty

details, details...

The Queen has always done ‘just a little more’ for Andrew, a family friend told The Daily Mail. ‘It’s "second son syndrome". Andrew was the spare to Charles the heir and the Queen has always tried to compensate by ensuring that he is not left out of things. It’s a mother’s instinct.

‘In the Queen’s eyes, the Duke’s private life is his private life. She keeps him on something of a pedestal.’

Wow he looks just like my colleague. Drives like him too.....

This is what happens when a supposedly democratic society decides that a family of unelected spongers should be elevated to the mythical status of somehow being royal based purely on whom their ancestors happen to be. I'm not a royalist, as you may gather.

Will have to change my planned ride for tomorrow now. Shame as I like that bit

 

[captain nemo1701]

The sheer arrogant sense of entitlement is what marks that family out as the spongers they really are.

What irks me a lot is the 'followers', 'royal watchers', media types who all buy into this surreal fantasy about a dysfunctional filthy rich family, wave flags at them and perpetuate the myth that they are somehow special.
