I wandered over to St Marys hospital on Saturday night to take a look at the media circus from around the world awaiting the Royal birth, one guy told me he was being paid stupid money by an American tv company just to mind their gear, you see the streets of London are not always just paved with shite there is dosh to be had if you know where to look !wink!

When I covered the Strangeways prison riot in 89/90? One of the local shops, who had a good vantage point from his flat roof was charging news crews ?500 a day to use it.

It was April 1990.

Bloody hell five hundred quid in 1990, that was a nice wad then.

Just trying to work it out.

?500 a day per news crew.

How many news crews could he get on the roof?

The riot lasted 25 days.

I wonder how much he made ?

We couldn't tell accurately from where we were, but estimated about 5 or 6 from the gear going in.

Say 5.

That's ?2,500 a day.

Say 20 days.

That's fifty grand in 1990 money.

Blood hell!

Probably worth engineering another prison riot!

Apparently a private room at St Marys starts at ?4000 a day so book yourself in and have a snoop around and see what Kates up to then sell your info to the media company who's willing to pay the most, lets say ?100,000 -?4000 now thats not a bad days work !wink!

Are hoping its a retard flid mong, think of all the free publicity they would get.

Also with the constant 24/7 they wouldn't be able to flush it away...unless of course they have a ringer on standby.

And for the record you may have guessed I couldn't give a damn about this additional wretched royal.

They reckon Kate has a suite at St Marys costing ?35,000 every 24 hours so she's been in what 3-4 days so this baby is working out very expensive even before it's born...

Bloody hell.
