did he really have a fling with one of them in the 70s i always remember my mum talking about it when i was younger

No he didn't! He quite liked the lead singer - Sheila Ferguson I think her name is, but she has stated in several interviews that she 'did not want to become another notch on his bedpost'

Can't imagine he had that many notches!

Can't imagine he had that many notches! GOOD!

Who knows what our 'wacky' Prince got up to in his youth? Perhaps an affair with a member of the Three Degrees cannot be ruled out. Charles was in the Navy for a while, and naval types enjoy a reputation for lust. I once read of how he was taught to make Bread and Butter Pudding by rough and tough sailors. He obviously had a very distinguished career, and 'all the nice girls love a sailor'. However, cruel rumours abound that Charles 'took his turn in the barrel'; a rather unsavoury tradition of our Royal Navy. If true, that would cast doubt upon his rumoured attraction for Sheila Ferguson, and indeed explain a great deal about a great many things. Not that I like to gossip, of course.

I would rather take my turn in "The barrel" than to go near the Ferguson woman :gag:

You want a laugh, Look out for dvd of out takes of 'I'm a Celeb', when Sheila Ferguson's wig comes of in comical circumstances.

She's bad enough with the wig in place, so without it she..........:gag:

I thought charles was a bit of a cad when he was younger? Breaking hearts all over the world?

Have just 'Googled' for 'turn in the barrel'; well, you learn something every day! Not sure if they'd still use an actual barrel these days, but if not, it could explain Charlie's ears being so big! :D

I, like Timo, am not one to gossip either (as regular forummers will know), so will keep further suspicions to myself! :D

Dear oh dear oh deary me :huh: :shakes: :huh: :shakes: :huh: :shakes: Roll out the barrel! :hihi:

I suspect the Prince's often-quoted fondness for 'Clewtie Dumpling' refers not to the Highland suet dish, but to something altogether more unseemly and lewd. But I don't like to make cheap sexual allusions, or spread gossip, as you know.

As I said previously, at the very height of the Prince's distinguished Royal Navy career, he was taught to make 'Bread and Butter Pudding' by rough, tough sailors. Call me naive, but I have never heard it called that before.
