Well I suppose we could go for presidents and get people like Nixon, Carter and Bush jnr in on the act.....
Then again.....

The Royal family have no real power any more and cost the UK tax payer 69p per person per year. No big deal really. I dont know why people get excited about this either way.

Is that 69 pounds?

If so, at 61 million people, that's 4.2 billion a year. A hell of a lot more then we pay for our Prez (and you still need to pay your PM).

No, thats 69 pence which gets shortened to 69p. 100 pence to the pound. So thats £42M.
