No, they don't. I still own the sky.

I think he's a nice enough bloke. I think it's a good idea that he
"familiarize" himself with flying but I don't think he should be
awarded RAF wings without passing the entire course. But that's just
me and I'm not a Brit.

For what it's worth, maintaining the entire extended royal family costs 61p
per British taxpayer per year. That's about $1.20 US.

The last time I looked, that was their perogitive. If they don't feel like
supporting a manarchy any longer then they can just have a revolution like we
did. In the meanshile, it's their country and they can do as they please.

The whole world doesn't have to be just like us, do they?

But the Brits would like to have the whole world like them. The royal's
fortune as robbed from around the globe. Anwhere they went that they had
difficulty pronouncing local names they just changed them. The reason
you're posting this in English is partly due to that habit of their's.

To this day, the first thing they do when they arrive somewhere is set
up a pub and paint a union jack on the side, and then proceed to run
amok.

This last one has some particularly comical comments below it. I
particularly like the one where americans are criticised for calling
people "sir" all the time.

But really, you have to see a brit tourist resort to believe it. They
have a number of airlines that do nothg but fly drunken louts to the
mediterranean, the carribean, florida Thailand ( you can imagine what
that's for) and elsewhere, where thye generall mock the natives for
their poor english, snub the food in favor of fish and chips , end up
secrewing and fightinga ll over the place and generally leaving the
place poorer in spite of the money they blow....

The same thing Americans get out of preserving Gettysburg; history.

Yes, but that is for the Brits to decide, and they seem to rather like their
royal family; so who the hell are we to say they shouldn't have one?

For my part, I would LOVE to score a 13-week paid flying vacation with the
RAF.

Royal family is cheap to run and the value to the country is almost
priceless. The royal heritage is worth billions in tourism alone, (funnily
enough mostly from Americans) so whatever expense has occurred it represents
good value for money overall.

Compare that with the cost and value of a presidential candidate.

Very few tourists visit the UK to see royals.
