Fair dues, PH. You have obviously happened to notice that you are considerably richer than Joe next door. Therefore you are clearly in a position to consider yourself superior.

Andy, as PH relaxes with a Sex on the Beach with all the bits, I do not think that his gold chain necklace and Hawaian short-sleeved shirt can in anyway be described as "arriviste". Not in Scotland, anyway.

I hate to tell you DJ, but I am superior to the junkies who can't work (but can steal, mug OAP's and manage to be at the chemist early for their methadone).
Give me a reasonable explanation why I am not better than them.

"I hate to tell you DJ"
No you don't. Do you?

"but I am superior to the junkies who can't work (but can steal, mug OAP's and manage to be at the chemist early for their methadone)".

Whatever gets you through the night, Dick and out to work the following day.

Not an answer,but since you don't disagree,I will take it that you agree.
David if you can't face reality maybe you should take another break.

Nothing to do with the 'class' that this thread is supposed to be about.

[quote]Your post wasn't relevant. Obviously....[/quote]

Relevant enough for you to waste two posts replying to me about it. Obviously....

Mike says the Queen has too much power, you say she hasn't and I give you an example of why I think she has (she has armies swearing allegiance to her.........now if that isn't power then I don't know what is). I don't need to read the whole thread to make that fact any less true...or relevant. In actuality it's your point about what she's done in practice that is less relevant to Mike's worries (which I tried to point out with my analogy about pissing in your pint).

And your comment does ?

Unbelievably, you still dont get it, do you?

Mike stated
"The Queen is the richest woman in the world and as such head of the British class system. She keeps it in place and what is said to be ?a constitutional monarchy? where the monarch has no real power, when in fact the Queen exercises more power than a cabinet minister".

So to paraphrase, some say that the monarch has no real power, when the Queen EXERCISES more power than a cabinet minister.

My point is that the queen's power is purely ceremonial. She does not exercise that power.

You give an example about the Queen that you have got from Wikipedia that "the Army... swear by Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second"

Give me one example where the Queen has gone against the wishes of the government of the day in recent times with regard to the army where she has taken advantage of this oath of allegiance.

That is the difference between power in theory and in practice.

No more to be said.
