I must say, I love Britain's traditional ways. Just watched this gun salute in celebration for the royal baby on TV; they had 71 horses too! The bells will be going off for the next 3 hours!

Do any other Britons like the fact that Britain still keeps it's tradition? Do any non Britons like that we keep it traditional?
 
Another pointless tradition which is just a waste of time and money, destroying many eardrums in the process with the incessant high pitched ringing of bells.
It's not like tradition's always a good thing, if it was then we'd still be burning adulterous women to death as witches. Heck, the only traditions we seem to keep are the pointless **** ones like this.
I don't get how anyone can give a **** how many guns are being fired or horses are parading about for the birth of a baby who's only special trait is being born by a certain person.

If there was bells going off near me for 3 hours I'd be so pissed off.

Anyway, I like that we have tradition in a way, but I kinda find it stupid.
 
Just to point out as I keep seeing that they're a waste of money and whatnot, the royal family existing actually makes roughly ?160 million profit each year from tourism and stuff which is injected into the tax system and makes your taxes slightly cheaper.

Then keep them, spend much less on the bullshit that we give to them through tax money and have even more profit!
