Re: Our Queen
That's right, HRH is an old lady, a remarkable old lady with an unmatched record of service to Britain. There is no other monarch or head of state with her experience, commitment & dedication.
I guess, even as we go about our business, tv producers & researchers are digging out material for pushing out on tv, should she take a turn for the worse.
The knockers are not confined to the UK. I was in Tuscany a while back, enjoying a glass of wine in a village square, while nurse Gillian was shopping. A local joined me and I greeted him with "Buongiorno"
"Ah, you are English, yes?" he blurted. Followed by the distinctly unfriendly accusation.
"Your Queen is useless".
I seem to attract village idiots, & replied without hesitation.
"That may be true, but she does it so well dontcha know"
He left muttering loudly. I think I averted an international incident
