As queen turns 90, report values British monarchy at $84 billion



I once saw an amazing BBC documentary about the Queen going to a horse race meeting. The flunkies are all there in the Royal box and they yada yada about horses.  So with every race they have a sweep, putting Five pounds on a horse picked at random. The queen never carries money, so some toffee nosed twit pays her fiver.

Well the queen wins!  A guy appears,holding a polished silver salva, with a fan of pristine fivers and offers it to Liz. 'What's this' she asks.  'Your winnings ma'm'   'No,' she says, 'what are these?' She had no idea that they were money,not a clue !!!!!
