It's True About The Paint
Prince Charles came to the rough-as-a-badger's-arse council estate on which I spent some of my formative years to reopen an adventure playground that was adventures aplently for the tikes during the day, and for me and my mates at night.

Whilst it had some cool stuff on it, obviously built by nutters with a shaky grasp of safety regs and a passion for bolting logs together, I can't imagine why it warranted a visit from royalty. Indeed, he seemed fairly nonplussed in the footage I saw on Northwest Tonight. It must have been a slow week for them - nothing else but supermarkets to open, and I don't think you can book them for supermarkets.

Like I said though, it's true what they say - in the couple of weeks before, they came and painted fucking everything :)

Didn't meet him though - couldn't be arsed. Met the Equerry (military officer and toadie-designate) to Prince Andrew once though, but he was a cock.
