    Would that necessitate an "emergency" meeting though?

    Not really, but from a logistical perspective of getting all staff in the same place at the same time it might be seen as best practice to ramp up the urgency.

    It says a lot about The English Media when this actually makes front page news.

    I thought it was going to be another jimmy saville/rolf harris type announcement. It really wouldn't be surprising, it seemed to be the done thing in Britain in the 70's/80's.

    Read the guardian article. This isn't the way significant information is released. Unless it's totally changed.


    I'm sure something is up that effects the staff of the royal family.

    Also an emergency meeting isn't a meeting about an emergency. It's just a non scheduled meeting.

    Well I was right. It didn't have that much to do with staff after all.
    You don't call an emergency meeting unless something is up.
    Its not that significant but noteworthy nonetheless. The man has earned his retirement at this stage.

    He woke the queen up at midnight with the full royal guard dressed as Sto?truppen screaming May the fourth be with you. Lizzy has had him sectioned and he will meet with George Lucas for reeducation.

    He would appear to be the natural successor to Prince Philip in this regard.

    Without those they might as well just declare a republic and be done with it.

    I mean, it's basically a state-funded live soap opera.

    It is, but then again he is retiring from being a professional tourist essentially.

    What have these people ever done? They just go around visiting places and live in a massive house without having to cook or clean for themselves? It's hilarious seeing the Brits fawning over them! They've been taken for mugs.

    Brits being Brits - it's an odd mental state to get your head around. One minute they're a modern, progressive democracy, the next they're worshiping the old lady who owns the place and seeing nothing odd about the Lords Spiritual (bishops in the upper house of the parliament).

    It's a bit of an enigma of contradictory facts and ad hoc arrangements that only make sense in context.

    Its funny people cant actually see this with Prince (or king or whatever the F he is) Phillip. People wishing him the best on his "retirement". Like he gives two hoots what people think

    and this is coming from Half English, Prod myself.:P
