In June, it turned out that the Royal Family cost each UK taxpayer 69p per person every year, this being followed by the usual hard-headed arguments between royal supporters and anti-royals as to their purpose and whether we even need them in the modern world.

Personally, I couldn’t care less - I part with 69p a year just for Prince Philip and consider the rest of them a free gift. Since Edward I, “The Hammer of the Scots”, who invaded Ireland, Wales, Scotland and much of France, there has not been a single man who has done more to screw up England’s international relations.

My personal favourite gaff (there are many) from the Duke of Hazard is doubtlessly his conversation with a British student in China during a 1986 tour, in which he remarked, “If you stay here much longer, you will go home with slitty eyes.” This comes from a Royal in a communist country. A communist country renowned for being secretive and closed off to the rest of the world. No, Philip! No!

The list continues. Phil on the 1981 recession - “Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they are complaining they are unemployed.“

To a Brit in Papua New Guinea - “You managed not to get eaten then?”

To a Scottish driving instructor - “How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?”

To Australian Aborigines - “Do you still throw spears at each other?”

I decided it would be a good time to smoke on one of my deliveries but then I got the munchies and ate a piece of the pizza I was freaking out so I told him it was our new pacman pizza
