'Who do you sponge off?'

The Duke of Edinburgh is known for his embarrassing gaffes so it is no wonder he apparently managed to insult a London community centre group during an official visit today.

Prince Philip is said to have asked a group of women 'who do you sponge off?' while visiting Chadwell Heath Community Centre in Dagenham, east London, to mark its official opening.

It comes less than a week after the 94-year-old royal was caught on camera shouting 'just take the f****** picture' during a photocall for the Battle of Britain anniversary.

They do it there too

Good on him,he speaks the truth mostly.

One can only imagine the people around Chadwell Heath most likely do partake in a fair bit of sponging.

He did another years ago, referring to the shape of Chinese peoples eyes.

Says what he wants coz he knows nobody will stop him...'cept The Wife.

So, if he said it it is true.

But we have read 100's of posts when someone in TH says something off the cuff.

Why, may I humbly ask you, this difference in attitude?

I agree with your parting shot - What a load of tossers these posters are.
