Did Prince Andrew's Newsnight interview make his predicament better or worse?Sorry, but Prince Andrews appearance only convinced me of his guilt. He looked so shifty. I wondered trust him as far as....etc. Doesn’t the whole notion of ‘Royal’ family and the ridiculous term ‘Your Royal Highness’ make others feel like me...that it’s time we moved on from the outdated concept of ‘Royalty’ and all the baggage not to say cost that goes with it. It’s not enough to say that the royal family bring revenue in the form of tourism....everything that comes with it...cloying subservience, lavish expenditure etc is all wrong in this day and age. I don’t wish them any physical harm but the immediate family should be pensioned off when the present Queen dies and the rest, like the obnoxious Andrew should find out what it’s like to earn a crust in the real world.ViewDate:

Speakers Corner CommentsHi Bob, You sound to be coping well with all that life throws. Getting old is not for wimps is it!? Have you travelled much in the Middle East or do you enjoy it from reading? I have a yen to go to Israel and think I should do it before too long. Apart from a holiday in Tunisia yonks ago, I have only travelled in Europe. I too like history...I like to read about human evolution and the Middle East is important in this respect. Write if you are of a mind,ViewDate:

Pen palsHello Anne, I’m a similar age to you, living in Dorset, so we’re at opposite ends of the UK. I was a college lecturer (in art department) and I’m fighting myself to get back into painting again since my husband died 4 years ago. I am interested in history and like to visit places of interest in that regard. In a few days I’m off to London to make the ultimate tourist trip to the Tower of London which I haven’t visited since I was nobbut a lad! Where have you been on your travels? Do you travel solo usually? Apart from North Africa (Tunisia), I have not travelled outside Europe but I loved to go to Italy and France mainly. I like writing, so would be pleased to hear from you if you are of a mind to make contact. Regards
