- - Well, this is monday and today we know that the Queen's private rooms includi

- - My question to the british netters:
- - Do you all agree in paying for the Queen's private possess from your taxes?
- -
- - P.S.: I personnally would agree in paying for the restitution of the
- - representation hall because it is used for official reasons in the
- - States interest (Banquettes for foreign Statesmen etc.). But I would
- - also say that this depends on wether the annual appanage for the Queen
- - is also for maintaining the complete household. If I had to pay for
- - private rooms that are never show to the public I would be quite angry.

- I believe, IMHO, that Her Majesty, possessing so much assets, should foot
- most of the bill, and the government should concentrate on other more import-
- ant areas.
