You know, he looks an awful lot like Prince Philip in these pics.

A medieval monastic barn once used to store tithed grain and produce will be visited by the Prince of Wales on Thursday.
The 900-year-old tithe barn, believed to be the oldest of its kind in Wales, is adjacent to St Mary’s Priory Church, Abergavenny. Parishioners bought it back in 1999 and £1.6m has been spent transforming it into a centre for exhibitions, education projects and hospitality.

Well done Charles!

Did you know that Maker's Mark in Kentucky sells all their whiskey barrels to Scotland after they use it because they can only use them once. The Kentucky whiskey/bourbon industry is highly regulated. That's cool that they are creating 20 jobs. In this economy every little bit counts!

I didn't know where they all came from. Many of the distilleries have specialized malts, with sherry casked being I think quite common, I have seen Bourbon, Burgundy, Port and Madeira casked and wondered where they got them all from.:flowers: It all smells and tastes revolting to me!
 
PRINCE CHARLES'S "picky" culinary requests and the late Princess Diana's quirky sense of humour were revealed today by a royal chef.

Charles demanded aides fly pheasants from the Queen's Sandringham estate halfway round the world to serve at banquets and insisted his tea-time eggs were boiled for exactly four minutes.

I can't see a problem over the eggs, they have to be just right!
 
It would be nice if the proceeds from this auction went towards her favorite charities.

No wonder the British complain about the wastefulness of the royals. I wonder how much it costs to fly pheasants around the world!

And I wonder how much it costs to fly freshly caught tuna to the sushi-restaurants around the world. Or to ship fresh asparagus from Peru to europe. Or deliver strawberries to the shops for Christmas.... Are we all wasteful? Yes we are. But at least Charles does it to promote British products while we just enjoy the "good selection" of food in our supermarkets.
 
Read the labels in your clothes, look where your fruit and veg come from. Meat? Fish?
Everything is flown all over the world these days besides pheasants........ When I looked at my latest pair of Escada jeans they were made in Tunisia!
Good for Charles promoting British products, that is his job.

Well said Jo. It is good to see an obvious piece of misinformation corrected. :boxing:

Too true!

It is a fundamental truth that to tell a half truth is often far more misleading than an outright lie. You caught it! Well spotted. :notworthy:
 
A reminder that at 8.30 tonight on BBC One is a documentary following the Prince of Wales over the past year. Also featured are the Duchess of Cornwall and Princes William and Harry. Thankfully it doesn't rehash the old rubbish, it's specifically a look at the Prince and his working year.

Well, but unless the British pheasant market is looking for export opportunities (at which point it'll just be a case of people wanting to enjoy the good selection of imported food), I'm not sure what he was promoting.
 
PBS (in the US) just aired a documentary of Prince Charles in honor of his 60th birthday. It was fantastic. It spent a lot of time covering the prince's early years, from his birth until his marriage of Diana. The footage of Prince Charles as a young child was really nice. He was a darling toddler.
