9Things that are better value than the Queen - Part One
Let's accept, despite it almost certainly not taking into account many of the true costs, the Royal Family's own estimation of the cost to each taxpayer of the Queen.61p.
Is that good or bad value for money? Let's look at other products of similar price.
One can of diet coke from Pret a Manger (60p) - BETTER VALUE.
The Independent newspaper (60p) - BETTER VALUE
One minute video call on the Three phone network (50p) - BETTER VALUE
1/5th of a pint of beer in average London pub (60p) - BETTER VALUE
10 minutes parking on Kensington Park Road (60p) - WORSE VALUE
One colour print-out on a colour laserwriter (60p) - WORSE VALUE
So I'd put the Queen's value at somewhere above London parking charges, but somewhere below London pub prices.
