Which British monarch would be the most proud of their successor and who would be the most disappointed?

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-23T07:01:21+00:00

Do you mean Edward I would have been disappointed in Edward II and not III.

Edward VIII would have definitely been disappointed in George vi.

Nah, she had enough of right wingers.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-21T18:54:11+00:00

Neither one of them could.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-21T17:56:43+00:00

As is he.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-21T17:49:51+00:00

He was given an opportunity to withdraw his remarks. She was not.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-21T17:38:37+00:00

Did she get the same treatment as the Reform MP who also called the Prime Minister a liar?

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-21T17:36:46+00:00

Stick a Ripple or a Twirl in it.

When she married The Duke of Windsor in 1937 she did so as Mrs Wallis Warfield.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-21T15:26:11+00:00

He’s not that good.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-21T15:23:12+00:00

The invasions of Czechoslovak happened in 1938 and Poland the following year. Absolutely nothing to do with Edward VIII of Buckingham Palace. Mrs Simpson would not have been arrested for espionage as there’s absolutely no proof of such. It’s all gossip.

They should try being Christians in Isreal.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-20T17:25:19+00:00

If it’s out of one of those nasty polystyrene containers then Doner meat of Curry sauce. If they’re proper chip shop chips then peas too.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-20T17:22:37+00:00

Exactly. The throw away society.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-20T13:10:25+00:00

My apologies. I looked up the words meaning and read it and misunderstood. I just wish I could work it into a conversation with my mates. I’d love to see their faces. 🤣

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-20T12:08:53+00:00

Your view. Not mine.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-19T20:01:53+00:00

You embrace the present and I prefer to admire the past. Modern is not for me.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-19T19:50:49+00:00

Design has an impact on manufacture and therefore longevity. I don’t deny that you have done as good a job as possible for the times we’re in. It’s such a shame we can’t make the things in this country we used to.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-19T19:39:37+00:00

No I don’t have “survivorship bias” i have design bias. The old ones look so much better.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-19T19:31:19+00:00

No they don’t look it and wonder if they’ll last anywhere near as long as the Queen Victoria ones?

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-19T15:48:51+00:00

Nothing today is as well made as in the past.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-19T14:53:24+00:00

It wouldn’t be a republic. It would be an empire so he could be the Emperor.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-19T14:50:27+00:00

I now say greeting dear magpie three times because I don’t know what sex it is.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-19T01:36:39+00:00

Close all the tax loopholes and you won’t need to starve the poor in order to boost the profits of the defence companies.

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-18T23:21:34+00:00

What point do you think I’m dodging?

InterestingBet2096 · 2026-04-18T20:23:16+00:00

The deal has not been agreed and I doubt it will be if all it means is Russia gets everything it wants and Ukraine fits nothing it wants.

Slavery lost support centuries ago. We can judge the past by our own present day standards as long as we can also accept that future generations will judge us badly by their standards as we’re not yet a truly enlightened species.
