Hang your head in shame young man - they are Ravens!!!
In fact.........OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!
just curious. If ive spelt it wrong im referring to the blokes in red suits who look after the Tower of London.
Do they have to look after the crows?
28k a year or two ago I seem to recall
Crows!!!! CROWS!!!!!!

I'm not sure how much they earn, but they do have to look after the crows. I Think most of them are soldiers (or were) I know its considered
quite an honour to get to be one.
Btw, the chap we had giving the tour was fantastic, great sense of humour, although I did wonder if the jokes were just refined from centuries of tour
guiding.
You must be watching Relocation Relocation and wondering how the Beefeater can afford £350k for a house plus a weekend retreat. I don't know the
answer to the question though.

Not watching loaction location location are you ??
Budget of £350K !!! What ??
As above, Befeaters are full time served soldiers, which means they'll be on the salary, plus their Army pension and IIRC a lump sum on completion of service too.

Aren't they all retired Sgt Majors?
Maybe hes been bagging up Raven pellets and selling them for ten bob a bag to the foreigners. 700,000 bags of raven pellets is a lot though isnt it. 2,000 a day over the year. Quite a few sacks to pilfer.
Anyone checked the crown jewels lately?
Ive checked mine a few times. Why do you ask? would you lik to check them
Is it true the Beefeaters drink Red Bull?
one thing to be aware of - its telly!!!!
just cause they say something doesn't mean its true. Watching one of those tv house buying programs a few years ago and a mate went "thats
frank, i work with him". When he got back to the office he asked him about his buying of a 1/2 million pound house. Turns out his brother was
supposed to be on the show but pulled out for some reason. He stood in with his family so it was entirely fake but gave them a show.

It's Scrapheap Challenge not Mcguyver! Right we have to build a boat, what do we have? A Land Rover engine and a bike frame...
