This little morsel from the Special Report Grapevine:
Prince Charles is telling his citizens to hoof it.
Speaking about the “domination of the car over the pedestrian,” the British royal says developers have a duty to put public transportation and the pedestrian at the heart of their housing projects.
No word on whether the Prince plans on parking his two Jaguars, two Audis, a Range Rover or the vintage Aston Martin the queen gave him on his 21st birthday.
Was the Aston Martin vintage when he got it – or has it become so in the 40 years since? Either way – with that many years on it, shouldn’t it be called an antique? No, not him – the car.
Maybe thinking about this helps, as they hoof it. A waste of a good auto I’d say.
Just another silver-spoon-in-the-mouth “expert”….we have quite a few on this side of the pond.
Thanks James – just read that snippet. He converts the car to run on English wine – and it takes 4.5 bottles of wine per mile. I don’t know if that’s a commentary on the power (or lack thereof) of English wine or the shallowness of HRH. Too much money combined with too much time and too few brain cells. I sure hope his old lady hands the crown over to Prince William when she checks out.
I think he should turn the car off and get his servants to push it.
The photo-op should be hilarious.
