Prince Charles On The Tube
37 Answers
OK I dont mind Charlie, he's harmless but did anyone see him and Camilla on the news, travelling on the Tube today at Kings Cross? Surrounded by fussing bowing @rse licking hangers on, who wouldn't let any ticket-paying peasants near him, he couldn't even take off his own coat without someone helping him, it makes me sick. He travelled one stop, had a whole carriage to himself and the carriage was spotlessly clean. Poor Charlie, he doesn't know what the real world is. What on earth was the point of it all? But its not his fault, its all the hangers on I can't stand ... and we pay their wages !

To be fair to London Underground, apart from the usual copies of 'Metro' (and perhaps the odd sweet wrapper or two) I usually find Tube trains to be very clean.
At least a journey on the Tube probably didn't cause as much disruption as the Royal train does. Like aircraft, trains have 'slots' in the timetable. At peak times there are no free slots on main lines but the Palace still insists on running the Royal train during those periods. However it's no just a single slot that has to be found in the schedule; the rule is that the train must run with an empty slot ahead of it and another one behind it. Putting those three slots into the schedule typically messes up a train operator's schedule for around 10 hours (through knock-on problems), even if the Royal train is only going a few miles along the tracks!

I remember a comedian saying some years ago that "the Queen must think all the world smells like new paint" because where ever she goes has been freshly face lifted, and I do think that happens a lot, do they ever go anywhere that has'nt been carefully done up? good thing too, at least some places get a paint job that would be "to expensive' otherwise.
it;s odd that no one mentions any of the good works he is involved in, just prepared to *** him off for daring to travel on the tube, which he was invited to do, to celebrate it's 150 years, so not sure why all the criticism.
Perhaps he doesn't go out to buy a paper, or pint of milk every day, but he is our next King, whether that sits well with some or not, it's an indisputable fact, unless of course he goes before the Queen.
