or more than made up, a fairytale
that people make up to entertain /scare their children;but that most of us find out ,when we are older and wiser ,that they dont exist, and laugh at those who really beleive in them.

You mean they're not real? Though I once met a queen, in Kings Cross. Or was that a quean? |
|
| |
Seriously, the reason for royalty appearing so often is fairytales is a practical one. The lot of the average commoner was rather quotidian when gauged against the stupendous wealth, luxury and facilities enjoyed by the former robber barons of royalty. |
|

Likewise, none of us today would pass up the chance to be a Bill Gates, or a Sam Walton, or a Warren Buffett. |
|
| |
Sam Walton's dead. I think I'd pass up a chance to be him. |
|
| |
Ohh, I see. *A* Sam Walton. Nevermind. |
|
| |
alright Rods; how about animating the news whenever on the subject of royalty? |
|

Sorta baked, the Queen mum's had that many body parts replaced i'm pretty sure she's all robotic (or a hologram) wheeled out once a year, to boost public morale. |
|
| |
thats funny but actually she has been wheeled out over 50 times this year. Why is a very good question |
|
| |
Since when does the Scandanavian airline bust people for outing royals? |
|
| |
What I *really* wanted to say is that we Americans baked this idea 200 years ago. |
|
| |
I think they should drop the queen and her cronies/shennanigans and resurrect the queen mum in animatronic form - she was the only one anyone really liked (not that i did) anyway. We can always pretend. When there's a point. |

Which, in its elf, is some indication of what Macclesfield must be like. |
