    Well, turns out this is a real address.


    In a moment of idle curiosity before going off and doing something else, I looked on google maps and there are three of them. Aldborough, Norwich and Royston. No idea why the cluster.

    Imagine having to change your address for that man ...

    Edit: moral is, never name a public park or street after a living person, or anyone who hasn't been dead for say 6 years. Just in case.
    Normal for Norfolk?

    More likely close-ish to Sandringham, and royals are were popular, so they ran out of names.

    As a fair minded and objective observer on the Royal Family I have to say I would need a better source than Andrew Lownie.

    That story coming out today would explain why they dumped him last night.
    Cause and effect could go either way.

    Until yesterday, I imagine that anyone who came close to publishing such tittle-tattle would have had an urgent visit from a square-jawed gentleman whose name really didn't matter, just be assured that they work for the Queen/King. During that visit it would be made very clear that it was really in nobody's interest to persue the matter, if you know what I mean.

    Today- rather less so.

    I suspect you would need a lot of evidence to back up the claim and that evidence wouldn't exist at a level to satisfy lawyers.

    After yesterday though all stories about Andrew are going to be open game....

    10 a day? We should not be vilifying Andrew, we should be lauding his stamina. I doubt he even broke sweat.
    I couldn’t manage 10 in a month !!

    A mere trifle! A well known PBer could knock that into a cocked hat according to personal testimony

    I'm sure I saw that story last week on PB... so maybe not.

    I wonder if Prince Andrew Plateau will be renamed?

    (Antarctica, named for him.)

    Extraordinary.

    In fact, incredible.

    I would have guessed at least 60.

    This is such a heart warming story about love and multiculturalism working, fuck anyone who spins this as anti Muslim story.

    A prison officer had sex with an inmate in a prison prayer room, a court heard.

    Two inmates acted as lookouts as Isabelle Dale, 23, had sex with Shahid Sharif, a convicted robber, at HMP Coldingley in Surrey, it is claimed.

    Sharif, who was three years into a twelve-year sentence, was transferred after the alleged encounter to HMP Swaleside, on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent.

    However, he then conspired with Dale to help him smuggle envelopes “laced with spice” into his new prison, jurors heard.

    Dale allegedly operated Sharif’s drug-dealing Snapchat account, and drug-smuggling paraphernalia was later found in the boot of the prison officer’s car, along with an engagement ring said by Dale to have been bought for her by Sharif.

    Well, he's certainly fucked Ms Dale in many ways.

    The Prince Andrew Cliff has a certain ring to it.

    The UK had a £26bn tourism deficit in the first half of the year:

    Overseas residents made an estimated 7.2 million visits to Great Britain and spent an estimated £4.7 billion in Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2025.

    Overseas residents made an estimated 9.3 million visits to Great Britain and spent an estimated £7.9 billion in Quarter 2 (Apr to June) 2025.

    Residents of Great Britain made an estimated 18.7 million visits outside of the UK and spent an estimated £16.5 billion in Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2025.

    Residents of Great Britain made an estimated 26.0 million visits outside of the UK and spent an estimated £22.1 billion in Quarter 2 (Apr to June) 2025.

    Which is approximately how much money the government borrowed from foreign sources.

    Just think if we could only create a giant sun and get rid of the excrement from the South Coast beaches we could have our own Cote d'Azur and all Rachel's problems would be over
    That might happen, as tourists notice the traditional Mediterranean resorts are becoming unpleasantly hot, and look for alternatives.
    The problem Europe has is that there are few beaches *just a little bit further north*. You can go to the Baltic but you are no better off than the UK. Maybe the French Atlantic coast will benefit. I have adapted by travelling in shoulder season, but obviously you can't if you have kids.

    Europe is now less hospitable than the tropics, temperatures over 40 degrees are now commonplace whereas as far as I can see most of SE Asia seems to be constant around high 20s to mid 30s
    Tourism to Norway is growing at about 15% pa and searches for terms like "cooler destinations" is up hugely
    Norwegian cruises seem very very popular these days.
    But they're banning non-electric cruise ships soon, IIRC.

    Yes, I expect there’s now going to be constant leaks of sewage about Andrew for a while. Pretty sure Charlie casting his brother into outer darkness won’t be drawing a line under the issue as he and the rest of the Firm are hoping.

    That’s the bloke trying to sell his book…

    He’s also trying to make a scandal of the fact that Andrew’s papers are covered by the 30 year rule
