Queen granted permission to repair Buckingham Palace roof.

[Robert59]

Part of Buckingham Palace’s roof will be repaired, nearly 200 years after a leak was first discovered.

Permission has been granted to restore the Queen’s London home by Westminster City Council, which considered an application to repair an asphalt roof and a chimney stack.

Maybe they will take another 200 years to find the right roofer.

Well, nobody can accuse the English of acting too quickly or impulsively. Some decisions require careful deliberation.

HD lives there, knows her stuff, ask her for the straight info.
The internet biggest function is to produce fluff.
Nonsensical 'stuff' to catch the eye. Not sure why they do that?

I believe, several years ago, there was a big to do in the UK when the government would pay a half billion $ ,over tens years for the upkeep of several royal residences. A maybe one of the richest women in the world could fork over a few pounds for some tar. But I. too, doubt the validity of this news story. The leak may have been undetected for 200 years, yet it is inconcievable that palace conservators would allow water damage with such a small fix.
