    By Royal Appointment:cool:

    Is that what we'll see on the new MSE car sticker?:D

    Well done Martin. Did you vist the palace toilets and do they have the 'by Royal Appointment' on the soap?:D

    As for the Queen not bothering with moneysaving, I remember a story in the newspapers. Apparently the Queen chastised a young prince (I think it was Edward) for losing the dog lead in the grounds and was told "Go and find it, dog leads cost money"..............or something along those lines.

    I know they have the portcullis on the paper napkins in the Palace of Westminster cafe.:whistle: :o

    Wonders whether Martin has a keepsake of his palace visit.:D

    Well done Martin! Did anyone mention when the knighthood would be announced?:D

    I do know that HM has always made a point of wearing her outfits more than once (which is probably quite money saving in those circles) so I would not be surprised at all to find that she listens in to you on Radio 2;) .

    Fascinating. I'd have been completely tongue tied. I'm quite surprised she doesn't use the Internet as I heard she was very fond of her Blackberry.

    How did you get the invite Martin?
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D
