I would like to know where you get your information from..
You, like the rest of us, only know what you think is going on .. written by the press who also think they know what is going on..
Different paper .. different comments..
From what I see on the TV .. Andrew goes to many places.. as does his wife.. and they both seem very well liked..

I think the press knows very well what is going on, but different reports put their
 own slant on it. As to Andrew and his wife, I doubt if many would defend them.
I do think some newspapers tend to take sides when it suits them and provide 
clickbait. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather we had a royal family than not, but like
 many others, I have my preferences.

Paper round, barmaid, cleaner, laundry worker, Insurance Agent (twice),
sales assistant in a store that sold everything, a shop assistant, a store
manager.
The worst, a laundry worker, boring. The best, a shop assistant and store manager.
I enjoyed the insurance work until an obnoxious manager made me leave. After 
about a year, he was moved, so I went back.

I'll ask Albert round to eat
I've hardboiled eggs, and potted meat
I'll wear something pretty 😍 
And perhaps he'll take pity 
And take me out for a treat. 


It's been so much cooler today

Neither did I qualify at any clever job,  Scrumps, though I was eventually a Carer.

I've had so many jobs in my lifetime,  not sure if I can remember them all even.

I was an apprentice hairdresser straight from school,  then left and went on to office work,  and was a typist for a few years.
 Later in life I worked in the village Co-op  (yes really  :smiley:),  then the  village pub,  followed by a little bakery shop,  and school cleaner, then a  Sainsbury's cafe at lunchtimes,  two more village pubs, then in the kitchen of an old folks home.  I then moved into their laundry department,  and finally ended up becoming a Carer there for ten years before my retirement.

Oh,  I forgot about working in two boarding kennels too,  and did a cleaning job for my vet at the time too.    :smiley:

It's about 21 °C here at the moment, forecast 20 °C for tomorrow.
Once, years ago, flying home from Oz at night, I watched a wonderful thunderstorm
over Malaysia.
