Needs TLC...lots of it...
It’s not quite a tear-down, but Buck House, the nickname for Buckingham Palace, sure needs some work, Tom Sykes reports on thedailybeast.com.
The palace has been infested with mice, the roofs and walls are full of asbestos buckets are used to catch rainwater and Princess Anne only narrowly avoided being killed by a falling chunk of masonry when she was stepping out of a car to visit her mother a few years back, Sykes wrote.
So it is high time that the place – which has not even been redecorated since the Queen came to the throne over 60 years ago - was given a thorough refurb, Sykes reported.
