I was listening to the radio this morning and had to laugh out loud.
One of the reporter was obviously not a huge fan of the monarchy, and as talking about the queen, and all the conflicts she had witnessed, threw in .... "...but you realize that Britain has globally invaded all but 22 countries..."
Of course, that got me thinking ... Where have they not invaded? So, off to the Googles....
The list of 22 countries never invaded by Britain
Then they want on to talk about how much this is going to cost Canada. Changing the currency, replacing all the pictures in the gov't buildings etc etc.
Which of course made me think ... Damn, I'm glad she stuck around for 70 years, that was definitely economical.
Have a great weekend!
Economical it was!!!
I never thought about the cost involved in all those figurehead type things getting replaced.
When I read that she passed on a 1 billion estate too her son William I could feel my sympathies melting away somewhat. Damned empire had it's impact even to this day!!!
Have a great one mate!
Living in one of the colonys as we do, we are still under the monarchy... But the biggest argument about changing it is that it would cost too much!!
