I haven't noticed too many people on these boards convinced of any royal connections! ;-) Some of the questions seem designed to see how many numbskulls frequent the boards! What do you think? Cheers, Horatia |

What absolute rubbish!! (not you Chris......the survey!) What do they think they will do with the answers? Does anyone know what they did with the Christmas Dinner survey? (stuck it up the turkey??) Merry |

If new owners ITV ARE thinking of doing a genealogy programme - it doesn't appear it will be on the same level as Who Do You Think You Are. I get that impression by the stupidity of some of the questions! Cheers, Horatia |

Um who ARE Fern and Phyl, Jordon & Peter etc? Somehow I don't think I'm qualified to take part. Cos they're certainly not in touch with me, or the rest of my household. |

Perhaps we should all get together and make our own programme ..... 'Who do THEY think WE are?'. LOL Jane |

Info on Jordan and Peter. Jordan has large attributes and Peter had one hit record I think. ;-) |

Jane, Brilliant Idea! C'mon Genes - who do you THINK we are? Cheers, Horatia |

LOL!! Experts on Jordan and Peter probably will not have heard of Richard the Lionheart!! So, does that mean none of us are qualified to answer, either way?? Merry |

Can I have your votes? Are you more familiar with Jordan and Peter or Richard The Lionheart!!! (Tee-Hee). If you can't beat em - join em! Cheers, Horatia |

I mean look at this question. How many of those answers would YOU want to tick?!!! What’s driving your search to find a royal connection? Curiosity In search of riches Something to impress my friends with Want a title Fascinated by Royal Family history Cheers, Horatia |

Just had to stitch my sides back up....... what a load of cobblers !! So WHAT planet are THEY on???? Certainly not the same one as us..... :-) Ps I am actually a first cousin of the Queen and will be advising her of this at the weekend over our usual large thincrust extra pepperoni... |

Well, Karen.....my 6th cousin has it on good authority that Her Maj doesn't like extra pepperoni, as it upsets the corgis tums when they eat up the leftovers........So beware...... Merry ! |

Dear Genes, I am desperate to find royal relations. I am such a sad person that I spend all my leisure time searching for links that attach me to the House of Windsor, Stuart, Tudor, Saxe Coburg or even Jordan and Peter! I want some fabulous wealth and riches and I would like the title the Duchess of Norfolk. OK where's me prize of £1,000, 000 for making an utter pr*t of myself. Cheers, Horatia |

Just don't like the feeling we're now being 'managed' as a 'resource' ... here we are, a huge bunch of people easily forming a minimum research sample quantity, so they can now do inane surveys like the Xmas lunch one. Bet that one got regurgitated (oops - no pun intended!) as 90% of the population (i.e. not 90% of family historians) watched the Queen's Speech! Just thought of another prog title ... howabout 'Family Lies'??!! Jane |

Oh Merry.... I think your cousin is feeding you a line.... I should know I feed the queen myself, she likes her pizza (extra pepperoni) cut into small crown shapes and fed to her. Her excuse is that she doesn't like it when the juice runs down her sleeve - the maid goes crazy as she has real problems trying to remove the stains. Now theres some real information for you... just off now to add it into her notes, Kx |
