No Self-AwarenessI had a boss who had no idea of his body odour problem, and everybody was too tactful to break it to him. Not so a visiting Rev Ian Paisley: "What the blazes is that smell? Is it you?" That sorted it. Stories of people blissfully unaware of their bad smells, bad manners and foghorn voices.

It wouldn't make any difference if not one tourist showed up.The country is still quids in from the agreement that the government gets the rent from the royal lands in return for an annual royal salary. If you got rid of the royal family tomorrow, they'd be about £160,000,000 a year richer over night, and that money would no longer be going to the treasury.

So the royal family all get paid by the tax payers.That's a bit feudal.

That'd be a convincing argument if it wasn't wrong.The crown estate belongs to the crown as an entity, not the monarch or the royal family. Get rid of the royals and it'd most likely revert to the state
