It's not often that I say anything positive about the royal family but I am impressed that Prince William is working on the Air Ambulance. He could have stayed in his cotton wooled privileged lifestyle but he's actually doing a job that's worthwhile and really helps other people.

Leticia , did all MP's in England vote against it ? In Wales where there were forty MP's, thirty nine voted against and one abstained , they were outvoted, this is the difference so no, you are wrong to say it wasn't a Welsh problem, unless that reservoir was built to provide water for Scotland or Wales and all English MP's voted against it but were outvoted by Scotland or Wales it wasn't an English problem

No idea why burning of holiday homes were brought into this thread, I think it can only be to bait, how pathetic

Don't call my post pathetic, Anniebach You don't command the thread and I have just as much right to post as you do.

You were the one who brought up the matter of security on Prince Charles and Camilla's holiday home so I think it was a valid point.

I have absolutely no idea but he didn't wish to lose his farm to give water to a place that he wasn't living in- he had no choice. I can't see why that was less upsetting to him than someone with a farm in Wales.

Merlotgran, I didn't say you had no right to post , if you see a connection between Charles having security on his holiday home for his friends in Wales bought in 2008 and the burning of English holiday homes in Wales then you will advise on the connection between security on his two holiday homes in Scotland, I didn't know English holiday homes have been damaged by the Scots , do tell , I would be so interested

I am sure you choose not to see the difference between the two Leticia . On a personal level just as sad for a farmer in England to be forced out of his home as a farmer in Wales . Did the community and the English people and English MP 's fight against the flooding of the farms , village, church in that valley and was he given the choice to dig up his parents and bury them in another area?

........and Prince William is working as an air ambulance pilot. Lovely

Leticia Sun 19-Jul-15 16:37:34

I have no idea being 5 yrs old at the time, but I can't imagine that the local community said 'lovely- so pleased you chose our valley' ! I'm sure they must have fought it- who wouldn't?

Leticia Sun 19-Jul-15 16:38:23

I have also no idea what it has to do with Prince William and his job!

Anniebach Sun 19-Jul-15 17:03:34

Neither do I see any connection Leticia, I simply replied to a question

Leticia Sun 19-Jul-15 17:07:18
