NHS referral treatment for cancer are done within 2 weeks. So private will of course get done like 2 days after diagnosis etc. Bladder cancer lines up with a number of articles and speculations I've seen elsewhere.

Toast 14,861 Posted February 7 2 hours ago, Bibliogryphon said: Surely the brevity of the Harry visit is actual good news. He has shown up to offer support and condolence to his father (as is fit) has been reassured as to the nature of the illness and current prognosis and buggered off home because there is nothing else for him to do. If they were talking weeks or months then I think he would have stayed longer because there would have been more to discuss Harry will have been told nothing that isn't in the public domain. He can't be trusted not to sell it to the highest bidder. It's clear that he wasn't welcome. The King saw him for just long enough to tell him not to ask for any money and to fuck off. Harry was offered no accommodation and had to book into a hotel. 45 minutes ago, Sean said: Even if it's terminal it was caught by accident and treatment has started nearly immediately so I reckon you are probably right. I gather he had a pretty comprehensive medical on accession, so it's not something that's been lurking for very long. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has surpassed Lady Jane Gray, Edward V and Edward VIII and Richard III is next I was referring to England, the country (one of them) he is king of and where a significant number of poster here reside Ok got it. Not sure what you mean with the burial reference though, as George VI is buried in Windsor for example. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't vouch for what happened when Harry visited his father, but I agree with you on everything you said above. He and his wife are both vile people. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take it you are not based in the UK Within the last 15 years an amateur historian called Phillipa Langley came up with a theory that Richard III was buried in an old friary within the walls of the City of Leicester and not thrown into the River Soar as legend had suggested but the location of the site was now covered by a council car park. She raised funds for an excavation and they did indeed find a body who was identified by DNA evidence to probably be King Richard III. The site is now a visitor centre and a tomb was created for the King in Leicester Cathedral and a burial service was held which was attended by Her Majesty the Queen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They produce them in enormous quantities so they wouldn't really be "rare" even if they stopped tomorrow, it's just that they all got hoarded nowadays by bank workers and post office cashiers who believe the clickbait articles that insist they're worth a fortune. I've not had a single one in my change, and I pay cash for most transactions (accuse me of being a luddite if you want, but I prefer it). The only ones I've got in my collection are from people specifically saving them for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The banknotes would be where the biggest value is in such a scenario, given they haven't been released yet so will be even fewer in number (as well as being higher in fiat value of course).

Yeah…like the Edward VIII postage stamps. Everyone hoarded them for the same reason. The result? They are virtually worthless. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
