My recapitulation is that she had nothing to offer and she was greedy for more money and she got it. So there!
Im not at all sad.
your 100% dyed in the wool ....
I e-mailed the Bletchley Leave estates, and haven't received an answer back yet. What's your best guess?
Are you looking for the swarm of bedrooms in THE Bletchley Park Museum? It's a museum open to the public that was used for WWII encypher-breaking. I don't see any bedrooms quoted, but by the looks of it I would say ~10 bedrooms.
If you are looking for a mansion in the Bletchley Parking-lot area, check with the local solicitor's office to see what is in the area.
I've been Y!retort browsing and noticed a few comments from people in england, so I have a few questions.
One person said they were english first then British - What is the difference? And how do you on which to be?
Another question, someone made it sound like all english/british disliked the monarchy. Is this true? why or why not?
and ... what is it like to live out in England? I was in London for two weeks and decided I want to live there, but NO way could I afford that again * I stayed at knightsbridge Park Mansions*
I want to be aware about England, everything basically. So anything you want to say about it be my guest.
Okay. First of all, Britain is a mini continent containing four countries (if you involve Northern Ireland, which you can when talking about the United Kingdom but Great Britain is really the mainland) (for the case of disagreement, we'll include N.I.).
The four countries are England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Inhabitants from the other three REALLY dislike being called English, they figure out it as a grave insult and revenge shall be visited upon your household for a thousand generations. You don't choose which ethnos you are, you're born it. I was born 70 miles from the Scottish border (southerners often mistake me for a Scot - even though I'm unreservedly an eloquent Mackem) (A Mackem is a person from Sunderland, a Geordie is from Newcastle and if you want to know the difference, revisit the part where I give fair warning against calling a Scot 'English'.) but I am still very English.
Scotland is the beautiful, rugged country at the top and Wales is the resplendent, green, rolling country to the west.
As a child I used to think of the map of Britain as an animal. Scotland was the front, England was the body and Wales was the stomach.
As for the Monarchy. My Dad was an out and out Royalist, even I was sometimes embarrased by the strength of his loyality. He carried a picture of Her Majesty in a notecase, he's stand at the National Anthem and he was as proud as he could be when I was invited to meet the Queen in person at Buckingham Ch.
I, too am a Royalist and although the rest of the Royal family have been outed as normal human beings with the same faults as the rest of us. I can ingenuously say that I don't think the Queen has put a foot wrong in over fifty years.
Not everyone feels like that and at work I am in the intense minority, I usually keep quiet unless invited to give my opinion and then they find out just what I do think about idiotic republican ideas. However, it is acceptable to live in a country where you can insult the head of state in public and not worry or look over your shoulder and I will stand up for people to have that set to rights until my dying day.
That's what it means to be British, to be able to say what you think (it's changed in recent years unfortunately) and recall that it is your right to do so.
I can't tell you what it's like to live in England, I have nothing to compare it with, I've always lived here and like the immeasurable majority, I take it for granted.
I take it for granted that if I fall ill, there will be a doctor I can make an appointment with or a hospital I can go to and I won't have to pay for the treatment I get. I will have to pay for any drug I get because I work but if I was unemployed, a child, a mother of a school-age child or a pensioner, I wouldn't have to.
I take it for granted that on the whole, the the fuzz are there to protect me and aren't a force to be afraid of.
I take many hundreds of years of glorious history for granted. Castles are two-a-penny. When I was born, we lived over the track to Sunderland's castle, I've never been at least, I can't remember going. I've walked around maybe two or three castles my unexceptional life and the country is littered with them.
Knightsbridge is a very wealthy and exclusive area of London, most of us couldn't grant to live there. I live in a very small council flat but I like it and its enough for me.
You say that you would like to know everything about England but there is so much about my country that I wouldn't certain where to start.
As for the other three countries, we may be the administrative heart of the UK but the Scots are the inventive ones. They have a knack with gadgets, Alexander Graham Bell ... John Logie Baird even-handed to name two.
The Welsh are the grafters. They work hard and they sing hard. Welsh choirs have perfected pure logical, you can lose yourself in it.
The Irish are the creative ones. Actors, singers, writers etc just pour out of that little archipelago.
As a whole, the British countryside is breath taking but I must admit that the only time I have experienced that, I was across the border in Wales, going towards the Brecon Beacons and it in actuality is like going to a foreign country going to Wales because they are very proud of their language and everything is written twice. Once in English and once in Welsh.
I'm tolerably sure I'm close to using up my allotted space but thank you for allowing me to wax lyrical about Great Britain.
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED PHOTOGRAPHS OF Complicate MANSIONS OUT ON THE ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE. I WONDER ABOUT RIDING HORSEBACK AND BIG ROOMS WITH GIGANTIC ORIENTAL RUGS ON THE FLOOR AND THE Reek OF SOMETHING DELICIOUS ON THE STOVE OUT IN THE KITCHEN. CAN ANYONE RELATE TO ANY OF THIS? AND SITTING IN A DRAWING ROOM IN THE EVENING JUST RELAXING AFTER A First-rate DAY... I KNOW PLACES LIKE THIS EXIST.
it does look nice, don't forget to invite me over for a visit
