    Buckingham Palace's rooms stuck in time

    Buckingham Palace is in need of maintenance work costing £150m. Some rooms haven't been decorated since before the Queen ascended the throne but how have they fared, asks Justin Parkinson.

    Labour's Clement Attlee was prime minister. Wolverhampton Wanderers won the FA Cup. Nato was created.

    And 1949 was also the last time the principal rooms of Buckingham Palace were re-decorated.

        It would be £150m of taxpayer money. Monarchy is an anachronism, and the royal family costs us over £300 mill per annum. Two world wars and the old order still moves in a world and lifestyle so far removed from those who pay for it.

            When Gold isn't enough, there is SA Gold! New to the forum and find the UE route a bit scary? Take a look at my diary here and judge for yourself. I am now saving the money each month that was making little difference to the balance and not a bit of difference to my credit file as a result of finding AAD.
