what a loser. never worked a real job a day in his life. Cutting ribbons doesn’t qualify in my mind.

. If everybody in a four-person family replaced one bath a week with a five-minute shower, you could save between £5 and £15 per year off your energy bill.'

OOOOOOOOhhh. 5 to 15 whatevers per year.

How much is that in real money. Like 2 dollars or something.

And besides, if your loyal subjects use less water, you'll lose more revenue. So whatever they save in Uros will just be taken from them in the form of taxes.

Idjit.

You mean Camilla Parker Bowles?

He said a female friend, not Secretariat.

Having gotten within a few feet of Charlie before it seemed as if he’s been taking “shorter” showers for some time.or could it have been that he’s taken Cheryl Crow’s advice and uses one piece of TP per “visit”?

The King should be the only one not covered in stuff. Otherwise how do you know he King?

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

"In separate advice endorsed by the Prince, he was more detailed – urging people to give up baths in favour of 'short, refreshing' five minute showers."

So after six decades of inherited privilege, this is Charlie's contribution to the world.

If he had any sense at all he'd keep quiet in a manner fitting his complete irrelevance.

I’m going to take an extra-long shower tonight in honor of Charlie and the Brits.

Well,he's had *one* job...he was in the Royal Navy.In fact,didn't he go to the Falklands?

The problem with reducing your water usage is that the utility company will then raise the per-gallon rates, so as to keep its revenue constant. You don’t save any money that way.

If everybody in a four-person family replaced one bath a week with a five-minute shower...

Does this mean they only bathe ONCE a week? (I'm not really sure I want to know.)

And is that one bath for the entire family per week? You really could toss the baby out with the bathwater because you could never find the tyke in there.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

You might want to save some water to come your hair, Prince Numbnuts.....

[BilLies]

Royalty are a protected class....wasn't his ancestor George III a nut case? And don't forget the royalty lives in century old homes that have lead paint and piping.
Charles and Sharon Crowe have this thing about not being as hygienic as possible. I find his mother and sons to be OK, though. His father is a mean nut, heard some of his comments from phone conservations which, apparently, can be taped and distributed in England

OOOOOOOOhhh. 5 to 15 whatevers per year.

How much is that in real money. Like 2 dollars or something.

Actually, 5 to 15 pounds converts (roughly) to 8 to 23 dollars.

once living in an arid area for a time, the old saying was, “conserve water, shower with a friend”

Sorry, those showers usually end up taking more time than two separate showers. Not that I'm complaining.

[Tax-chick]

That was his brother, Prince Andrew.

[Pessimist]

Between this and their dental hygene, it’s a wonder any new Brits are born.

[Perdogg]

nooooo

[gussiefinknottle]

i can’t find list of other 20 recommendations.

be sure so that i don’t follow them.

[Red Badger]

Well, they’ve already given up brushing their teeth..................
