And how long would you get in hospital for the same problem?


You know, this is the first time in many years that I have felt pride
and joy in being British. *This long weekend has been wonderful. *The
nation is united. *Our flags are everywhere. *There is rejoicing. *The
young Queen whom Winston Churchill encouraged and nurtured, has
matured, to be the very finest of monarchs. *On the world stage she
outshines all of the others. *And, there are fine Heads of State
elsewhere, yet she compares well with any of them


Speaking of Churchill, was it just a happy accident that the Queen's barge
was called "Spirit of Chartwell"?


Probably yes, but such a happy accident!
