Another luncheon… And how much is this visit costing the Guernsey Tax payers ? and only the dole scroungers who aren’t working will be able to see her… typical. Just like Specsavers the offices open to viewing on a weekday.. another opportunity missed by us hard workers, but enjoyed by those not working !

The whole lot is just a burden on honest working people.
They devise ways in which to scrounge a meal here and there; and people actually say,
“aren’t they nice” like at a cat and dog show–
A little miaow, and hearts melt.

@One of the few….
I suggest if you were that keen to take a tour you could have taken an afternoon holiday, a weekend tour would have been mighty boring! I also don’t think ‘dole scroungers’ are that bothered about a tour of a local business TBH.

One of the few – trust me, I’d rather be at work than meeting the Countess of Wessex!
