Prince Chuck urges Brit families to 'snub the tub'
 Britain's Prince Chuck, the intellectual heir to James I, has told British families to take shorter showers to help protect the environment. "A bit of B.O. now and then is natural, right?" He got this from Sheryl Crow, right? The instruction came at the end of a list of 20 lifestyle changes recommended by the Prince of Wales for his new green campaign, Start. If they make him king doesn't that mean he has to shut the hell up? Seems a point in favor of Good Queen Liz stepping aside for him. In separate advice endorsed by the Prince, he was more detailed -- urging people to give up baths in favour of 'short, refreshing' five minute showers. Are they allowed to use soap? His campaign website reads: 'Snub the tub. If everybody in a four-person family replaced one bath a week with a five-minute shower, you could save between £5 and £15 per year off your energy bill.' £5 and £15? The price of a light meal? However, the 61-year-old Prince might need to tackle his own family's washing habits before telling the rest of the country how to behave. His father the Duke of Edinburgh, 89, takes baths. He slipped in one in 2005 and badly bruised his left eye after catching it with his thumb. Personally I've always considered bathing a plus... And Sarah Ferguson, Charles's former sister-in-law and the mother of his nieces, has spoken of taking ice-cold baths on a daily basis to tackle her 'dark' moods. I can remember the good olde days when I needed the occasional cold shower, too. As for the Prince of Wales himself, Clarence House last night remained tight-lipped on whether he takes short showers.
