I know the US is having problems with lowering standards, is the UK in the same boat?

Lowering standards? Do you have a source for that? Your friends sister's uncle-in-law doesn't count.

I like how they choose the one picture where he was out of step, that's awsome:P Not that I don't like the Monarchy of couse (I have my solemn affirmation of allegiance to her Majesty sitting over top of me as we speak:P)

For the record, the BBC is probly one of the best journalistic sources in the world.

Okay now, let me get this straight... Was he at the presentation with his trainers on, or was he allowed to train without the boots but had to wear said boots at the ceremony. 'Cause if he was wearing trainers during the ceremony he should be ashamed of himself, blisters or not. There is such a thing as 'toughing it out'. BUT if he was only training in trainers and wearing boots at the ceremony then that's okay - training is training.

He's still a brat to me - what was with that nazi costume he wore!?!?

Rich.

As far as i believe he wore boots at the ceremony no mention of him wearing trainers was in the press.

He lost his mother in a car crash and his father is hardly with him and has married a woman many blame for his parents divorce. the press is following him constantly and has been bought up by minders. Hardly the most perfect childhood, not suprised he is a brat and makes mistakes.

Shadowalker · June 23rd, 2005

He went to eton which is a private school, as long as you pay i believe anyone can enter

Okay something has been said about the US lowering standards, and the key to that statement is a British servicemember having foot blisters and wearing sneakers because of it.

I went to US Army basic training in 1970. Obviously during the height of Vietnam. I had blisters on my feet and I was allowed to wear sneakers back then until they healed. I'd say that settles that issue.
