For the UK. Do you like your Queen?

She gets on average like 50p or less from the tax payer. I personally don't mind them when they keep their noses out of politics, which they do on the most part. They are apart of our history and on the whole decent representatives (most of the time apart from a few exceptions). Also they do attract alot of interest - tourism wise.

I will always remember the story of Queen Victoria hosting a lavish dinner party for foreign guests. One of the guests didn't know about finger-bowls used to just rinse off your fingers. Instead, he drank the finger-bowl. Everyone was just gawking at him, and probably genteelly tittering into their napkins. But Queen Victoria didn't want her guest to feel uncomfortable at her party, so she followed suit and drank her finger-bowl, and then of course since the Queen did it everyone at the table had to do so too! They don't teach manners like that at an etiquette school.

Hah, I'd actually never heard that before. That's a great story.

Really?!? *SHOCKED*

Yeh, I do like the queen and most the royal family, they do charity work and can help international relations.

Possibly the best argument there is in favor of keeping Her Majesty around. :P

What do you think the new 20 dollar bill?
