by the way, i guess he doesn’t mention that if you break one of those energy saving light bulbs, a hazmat team practically has to be called in to clean it up, thus compounding cost and energy use.

I have a few CFLs around the house, and while I've haven't broken one yet if I do I'll simply throw it in the trash.

I know...evil, evil!

[Newton]

He should be the poster child for the devastating affects of generations of “royal” in-breeding... what a moron.

Screw you, Prince.

Prince Andrew served. I found no reference to Charles serving.

Prince Charles did serve in the Navy but only Prince Andrew having gone to the Falklands sounds right.And,IIRC,one of Price Charles' sons spent at least a little time in Iraq and/or Afghanistan.

And Sarah Ferguson, Charles's former sister-in-law and the mother of his nieces, has spoken of taking ice-cold baths on a daily basis...

When she was a few years younger I would have been willing to slip into a cold bathtub with Fergie.She was *shagadelic*!

I would like to see his water bill.

Barbara Streisand uses about $2,000.00 worth per month and I’ll bet his usage is much greater.

Prince Harry, the younger son, served in the Middle East for a time. Cute boy.

I always thought Sarah Ferguson was good looking, too ... but she’s very plastique these days. She hasn’t taken getting older very well.

Brits shower? Is that the same ficticious time when they brush their teeth?

[Rad_J]

All of us should save water because it’s not like water just falls from the sky...

[AFreeBird]

Actually Charles was in the Royal Navy. And he even trained to fly Harriers if memory serves.

As first in line to the throne, he would be expected to do as much.

[elpadre]

it was also recommended not to flush for #1, for for #2 you always do.

[jetson]

Thats what you get when you let your country be overun by immigrants. Too many people and not enough water.

[Perdogg]

A female friend of mine went to Ireland and complained about the showers. She said they had the old timer bathtubes with the legs and with the shower head. She said the water pressure was a joke and the temperature was always cold to lukewarm.

[TexasRepublic]

Prince Rotten Hypocrite telling the peasants how to live.

[momtothree]

Are those ROLLS on his head?! Seriously, is this a British thing?

[RetSignman]

[Seriously, is this a British thing?]

LOL, It is some kind of title he inherited for being a princey boy. The hat is real, I ‘shopped’ the rolls.

[Huskrrrr]
