USA Bus Lines

Would it be cheaper for all concerned if Prince andrew was made to travel by bus?

Last year, according to the royal public finances annual report, which details the costs of official journeys costing £10,000 or more, there was the chartered jet for the four-day trade visit to Algeria and Tunisia that cost £54,869, and the seven-day round trip that took in Canada and Baku for £94,500, or the return trip to Jeddah costing £28,767, or the Singapore-Hanoi-Bangkok charter for £46,264, or the trip to Moscow for £20,083, or the £62,092 for a four-day charter flight to Mexico and Panama, not to mention the £43,989 it cost to get him from Mumbai to Delhi and Kolkata. Or for that matter, the £11,148 to whisk him from Prestwick airport to Inverness and then down to the golf links at Dundonald in Ayrshire to attend the Duke of York's Young Champions trophy.

Public Comments

  1. Andrew singlehandedly defeated the Argentines in the great Falkland War. He flew his helicopter directly into the national assembly of Argentinia and wiped out the entire government. As a result he was posthumusly awared the Victoria Cross. He was promptly replaced by a clone of which they have several hundred in cryogenic storage.
  2. Only if it were an amphibious bus with wings dear Nicholas. I believe young Andrew does fancy himself as a James Bond type on Her Majesty's Secret Service.
  3. As long as we don't have to pay for his tickets.
  4. This is not a respectful nor realistic question. Shame on you!
  5. The simple answer is "yes". Andrew has done his contribution in the Falkland War, no doubt he wasn't no pink puppy. The sad thing is that since he's back from that ship (where he was no different from his comrades), he has become an arrogant and spoilt brat holding his head above his hat. His siblings as well as even Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh do travel on a scheduled British Airways flight whenever they can. They might close a whole compartment for them but they do travel commercially if possible. Not Andrew. He should be given a kick-board to travel.
