Queen cannot afford her utility bills.

"Royal aides complained to ministers in 2004 that the queen’s gas and electricity bills had increased by 50 percent and were now "untenable", costing more than one million pounds (1.5 million dollars, 1.2 million euros) a year.

Aides said the 15-million-pound state grant the queen received for the upkeep of the palaces was inadequate and asked if the royal family was eligible for special funds to replace four combined heat and power units at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle."

It is coming - negative land value (where it costs more to maintain than its worth) is a reality.

Is it Rob Anders fault?

Could be.

Out of all the 54 commonwealth British colony nations, Canada is the one producing the most natural gas.

Now, she could go ahead and blame Harper, or she can go right to Alberta and thwack Rob Anders on the back of head

"Go Stamps Go!"

At the time, 15 million pounds would probably have been $35 million Cdn.

The Canadian dollar is gaining ridiculous levels of strength against the pound nowadays, about 1:1.6 - We might hit parity before the decade is out.

Personally: I find it comforting that even royalty complains about heating costs. The way they dig into the British piggy bank, is a little less noble.

"Where would a [political] saboteur/assassin find the best home? Under a monarchy .. or criminal orginization.. that wants to keep a local govt impotent, subservient and weak." The Ninja assasin code.

She doesn't need to go to work, since she has all of Canada working for her.

the greatest part of this thread is the fact that nobody has quoted the psycho

Interestingly enough. I couldn't really give a crap if the queen can't afford her bills.

In other news. Paris Hilton still slutty. Birds still flying, and grass still growing.
