Good riddance. A thousand years exploiting the masses and keeping them down.

Whicker really was first class…

Thanks so much for posting.

Cheer~~~the highest class in certain societies, especially those holding hereditary titles or offices.

Such a suave individual.

absolutely brilliant.

Sources such as Whicker's Who's Who entry give a year of birth of 1925.

"dino sours" lol what planet was he on?

Their thoughts on money- you have to have loads of money to even think like that but anyway all thoroughly nice blokes

You don’t want to know what Lord Feversham’s son Jasper does for a living. It’s no wonder he didn’t get a mention in his Will - a £46 million estate... Jasper got the title as 7th Baron Feversham but that’s it. Peter Duncombe passed away early 2009.

@sunnyhill5119 Aside from heading up countless charities, they have 8000 hectares of money-producing farmland and real estate, generating hundreds of millions of dollars into the British economy.

The title of your post ‘the aristocracy’ The title of Lord and Lady and similar came down the family lines through history. I have always called it ‘old money’ They had always known money and wealth so they ‘got used to it’. Of course back in the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s this was more so Different times, different people. Today’s aristocracy, what I call ‘new money’ are footballers, wags, TV Personalities internet wealth etc who are able to have such wealth instantaneously more so but have not in some cases grown up with money. They find it hard to cope. What can I say about Alan Whicker but he was the best British journalist there was. I used to watch him on TV when the BBC were at the top of their game - sadly not now 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The Aristocracy like you see Hear would be called 'Old Money" But you forget with any aristocracy as this its not Money that counts .................its Blood and Blood Lines. it does not matter if they are stupid , smart or Rich or Poor when it come to the Aristocracy and Monarchies Blue bloods Technically its Blood and DNA that count. if you are of the blood that's all hats matters, money actually has little to do with it. I should Know my mothers family had/has many Connections through blood and mairrage with the Aristocracy and nobility, allong with what was called the old American Money...you know the old Pre gilded age Planter and Merchant families. We do not have money anymore or Property, we are the Poor relations but if you got the Blood you are part of the club no questions asked.

Why would any "normal" human being want to live in a colossus that large? Every human being needs to be productive, loved, & cared for. Idle aristos may have one (or heaven forbid) several children sent off to an English boarding schools at age 12, to quickly grow into a madman, all to continue the insanity. Children quarrel or sometimes even murder one another, but usually spend most their adult lives in court. That's living?

I'd rather listen to his subjects than to Whicker.

Similar thoughts here.

Building oneself up by the bootstraps. What this country was built on.

When you know only 4% of Britain is built upon. That includes cities, towns, and villages,motorway, roads, railways and tracks, factories, offices, warehouses schools, hospitals etc. It makes you wonder what are they doing with all this land?

@Hereford1642

Ай бұрын

I think saying that 'only' 4% is built on is a rather strange concept to me. What % do you think should be built on? 50% perhaps? So that wherever you look - from Scottish highlands to Welsh forest to Cornish beaches should have every view enhanced by man made additions? We do not have sufficient land to feed the people that live here as it stands. Your complaint seems to me to be quite ridiculous.

@@Hereford1642 I think the 4% that is already built upon could be upgraded to serve the population better. The majority of dwelling houses in the UK are past their useful purpose. They are expensive to maintain and leak energy. Costing the country money to keep them. The population demographic does not reflect the current demands. More people live alone and family sizes are smaller. People are trapped in houses that are either too big for their needs and others are unable to find affordable accommodation for growing families. Causing a property bottle neck. In other developed countries the public and private property sector is more flexible. They are able to trade up from small apartments to larger apartments are back down again in the same neighbourhood. Better use of land and public space in towns and cities makes for more pleasant life work balance. Rows and rows of in efficient terraced houses with gardens the size of a blanket need to be replaced. But none of that will happen until the nations obsession with property value ends.
