No they wouldn't, that's exactly my point. There are castles on Donside which don't draw anything like he crowd. 

People might be mistakenly connecting Donside with AFC and no one wants to be seen dead there. 🤣

 

I lived in Breamar for a while pre-school and lived in Crathie from primary 1-3. Very fond memories.

No that's those that buy the stuff

That as well. You'd have to pay me to drink the stuff these days. I'm not worried about the bull's testicles, (that it reputedly contained when it first came out), more all the artificial crap in there. I'll stick to coffee.

I should have said that I don't remember ever drinking it but the cans are by far the greatest number I collect when out litter picking so I suspect it is mostly drunk by younger teens. I probably get too much caffeine in my diet from the coffee and tea I drink.

Round here roadside its definetly  stella cans  that are most common, still alot of energy drinks l also - monster seems as popular as redbull.

I pity the poor wives in your neck of the woods!

 

Someone is drinking a hell of a lot these energy drinks. Must be the young'uns as previously suggested. I'm sure its been linked to antisocial behaviour. A diet of this, NOX and high strength weed can't be good!

 

Tesco gave us 8 cans of RockStar drink, I think it was, in our last food delivery. For free. This stuff is really being pushed at the moment.

Can you imagine the area round Balmoral etc. getting the interest it does without the Monarchy?

Fast forward 20 years.

 

Versailles seemed pretty busy the last time I was there.

[Mark Bolam]

Yes, Paris is a busy place.

Fontainbleau, too.

Tell you what though, I'm going to stop listing former royal chateaus that draw crowds of hundreds of thousands of tourists before I even start. There's no need for it, no-one will benefit from it.

Just like the House of Windsor.

World Health Organization (WHO) officials have said COVID is no longer a global health emergency...

It changed the world alright 🤷‍♂️😞for all the wrong reasons. Pure, unadulterated insanity.

Have you been? You wouldn't want to, unless you have an interest in kings and queens.

The place is beautiful, but heaving. It's like disneyland at times.

 

Mind you, the same could be said for Aviemore, and it's not got the royals!

 

 

I'm off back to my cave.
