Beefeaters gone wild?

  • 13 years ago
http://www.nma.tv For hundreds of years, the Yeoman Warders, aka Beefeaters, have guarded the Tower of London, the jail for English royalty. Although there are not as many Royal beheadings these days, they earn their keep as tour guides and guards of the Crown Jewels. However, a former tower governor was fired after alleging irregular practices among Beefeaters, including growing cannabis in the tower grounds. He also alleged that the first female Beefeater was bullied by her colleagues. And that they sub-let rooms to young female tourists, and gave unauthorized access to the Crown Jewels. What would the previous occupants of the tower think of it all?
