Forgive me, easy mistake to make. Nah, I'm just a Sheffield lad who grew up in a Heeley slum. Bedbugs, cockroaches and head lice from the connecting attics and cellars.  Went out into the World to find out why some people lived in luxury, and others were content to stay where their "betters", would have them stay. Who got to dole out the good things in life, and why should they have that power?  Found success beyond my dreams. Gave it all away twice. Money is not happiness. Looked all over for a place to find harmony, peace and happy faces, in my modest retirement..  Turns out it was in a "poor" country, but because I never lost my Sheffield common touch, I fit right in.  As my brother Roy, said, first time he visited me, "Never have I seen people with so little, give so much".

hauxwell   243 #1370 Posted June 6, 2022 It was nice seeing the Queen on the balcony after the parade on Sunday with her three heirs by her side.  Long live the Queen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

A bit lie the street dwellers in Sheffield they seem to share their meagre bits and pieces with each other as far as I can see observing from a bench on the Moor .

I’m off topic now trastrick, but I think you should go onto the history and expats thread and write about your life.  I love to read the stories from expats, yours could be very interesting.

Don't think this is the first time I have asked you, and you still haven't offered an answer as to why you love royalty so much. Your choice of course whether you answer, but as it stands it appears you don't have any reasons.  I, on the other hand have given numerous reasons, as to why I think the monarchy should be abolished.   I don't wish death on the queen but when it does happen, I will see it as the sad death of a person, no more.
