I went to my local library & it had a half Jack. Don't remember ever seeing a flag before.
Still this seems a good idea.

We could have 2 minute Zoom silences.
Thank God the shops are now open, so we can be seen enjoying the funeral on Saturday afternoon sobbing in the John Lewis TV department.

It wasn't meant as an insult, just a joke but if you want to take it that way then fine.

It’s the second time you’ve mentioned it in 24 hours
But weird being obsessed with other people’s toilet habits, you perv
MrSki

I am not. You are the one who started a thread about sitting down to have a piss. I seem to remember you thought everyone should sit down for a piss? Does that not seem to be obsessed with other peoples' toilet habits?
I don't give a shit or a piss how others discharge things from their own bodies. It is a personal thing and as I won't be shaking hands with anyone soon I am really not bothered as long as they don't smell of shite from 2 meters away.

Philip was never a refugee. At very most he might have been a displaced person but by dint of his being a non-Roman Catholic descendant of Princess Sophia of Hanover - the queen England and Ireland never had, he was fully British from birth, so the naval involvement was a rescue/repatriation.
The legislation that automatically made him English (later British) was part of the constitutional settlement agreed when she accepted the offer of ascension and despite her death, just weeks away from it, remained active until 1948 and Philip was safely married. By the time it was repealed, the numbers of her descendants conferred with Britishness ran into four figures, across many European royal families.

Coverage didn't go down at all well
A further 233 people complained that BBC presenters were not wearing sufficiently respectful clothes, with viewers complaining that not all newsreaders were wearing black – an echo of the controversy over the burgundy tie worn by Peter Sissons when he announced the death of the Queen Mother in 2002.
And in a sign that the BBC is destined to be criticised by all sides, 116 people wrote to the corporation over the weekend to complain that it was making it too easy to complain about its coverage

It's a lot more than that when you count in the vast amount of land and property they have exclusive use of. The latest plan is to cut cash funding to Brenda and her little squad of buck-toothed degenerates but let them cream off more income from state-owned land to (more than) make up for it.

How much do they get from the land? Genuine question I’ve often wondered

The Crown Estate brings in about £400m a year

So what is frank alluding to? The royals will get larger share of the crown estate profits? Or they’ll get more favourable conditions attached with their private duchies? Or get more duchies?

I dunno, but their land is ours and would be put to better use if publicly owned

The Crown Estates don't pay out to the Royal Family, but to the Treasury. They do get money from land that they ought not to, though. The Duchy of Cornwall belongs to Charles and made £22 million in 2019. The Queen has the Duchy of Lancaster, which brings in a similar amount.

my quick Googling tells me that the queen gets 15% of the revenue from the crown estates

I'm pretty sure that's not right. Maybe the sovereign grant (what the Treasury pays the Queen each year) works out at about 15% of the revenue from the Crown Estates?
Shechemite

Ok well same result though? Whatever the crown estates makes, the queen gets big wadge of cash worth 15% of crown Estates revenue? And that is worth circa £400m?

How are our divinely ordained ruling family going to ‘cream off more income’ from land? Change of law/arrangement? The land is becoming more valuable?
