April 1st, 2008The proposed partial flotation of Crown Estates was cancelled last month apparently due to a press leak. We exclusively reveal the real reason why it was dumped…
Of course folks this was an April 1st gag! Thank you all very much for indulging us with this. We hope you had as much fun viewing it as we did making it…

April 1st, 2008 at 9:03 amI understood revenues from Royal palaces were falling due to the numbers of tourists to London down because of perceived terrorism threats, strong pound and the hideous expense of being in London itself. Could be worth buying on the open market, though.

April 1st, 2008 at 1:42 pmWhilst i am very aware of the date of this article, the purchase of a large estate in the face of a real estate down-turn would have been a good example of Gordon Brown’s “contra-investing” style. Only problem is he always gets it wrong. If you cast your mind back, he sold all the treasury gold at about $350 an ounce (now pushing $1000) and decided to buy a bank (N. Rock) fir a kit if money that was bust!! This bloke calls himself “prudent”!!! This is the only problem with having a P.M. and chancellor who has never had a proper job and therefore no exposure to the real world.

April 7th, 2008 at 3:34 pmGreat interview. Some shameless footage of old Queenie’s granddaughter Zara would have been nice…
Heavens! A crunch has become chaos and carnage and the market only seems to go one way –meltdown. Perhaps, it is not the best time in the world to be cheerfully giving investment ideas, given it’s so difficult to pick anything out of all of this mess. Just look at our portfolio.
