Pimms3

We all like a tipple now and then, especially after a hard week at work; but most of us tend to limit our liquor consumption to a few bottles of chardonnay. Prince William though likes to kick back with a trolley full of Pimms, clearing supermarket shelves in Asda of their entire stock and spending £850, on a car full of booze.

Hopefully he will not be imbibing it on his own, as he returned to Bovington Army camp to share it with his friends. It’s encouraging to think that our future king knows how to kick back with a few, and far be it from us to consider Pimms a slightly girly option. Hey, it has been a hard week for the boy, what with Channel 4 airing that documentary about his mother, and his ex making tabloid news carousing with bearded men.

Give the boy a break; it's the weekend, and for all his prestige he's still a kid. And what do us 20th century kids do when the going gets tough? A few drinks; tis only natural.
