I can't imagine being stuck in a lift with Prince Philip, considering all the 'gaffs' he has been responsible for in his time! dohh!!

Prince Philip gets a bad press because he is intellectually honest and politically incorrect. Having fought in the British Navy during World War Two and having been aboard two ships which were sunk, the Prince doesn't suffer fools lightly. That would include Princess Diana, the slutty late Princess of Wales. He can hoist a few beers in my backyard anytime. I'm sure we would agree on many things.

I'm sure he would really enjoy that, Roger.

He'd probably start a fight with your neighbours...

I hope he knows that I much prefer Guinness Stout to Bass Ale. Sorry, Prince.

He's a snakebite drinker (lager and rough cider)...<BR>Has a nasty temper after he's had a few so careful not to spill his pint. They call him the Buck House Bonehead.
