Or why, despite the best efforts of UK politicians, Britain will never become the 51st state of the Union:

Good point RJ!
The UK needs to change “God Save Our Gracious Queen” though – not sure what could replace the first word.
And such a tiny disparity on currency is a yawning chasm.

Twilight – yes, it does. I’ve wracked my brains but can only come up with words or phrases it definitely shouldn’t be. Not ‘Gordon Brown save….’ or, ‘Parliament save….’
How about changing the first line to:
“Cheers to our gracious Queen….” and it could be mandatory that we all hold a glass of our favorite tipple while we sing it? I think that might go down well.
WWW – powerful things, words. As you know well.
It came to me just now, RJ :
“Good health to our gracious Queen
Long live our noble Queen
Honoured is she.
Send her victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to reign over us
Our honoured Queen.”
The rest of the lyrics need ditching anyway.
Think it’d catch on? 😉
I like the mandatory tipple you’ve just added!
Mine’s a double Scotch!
Twilight – I like it, but my version allows for more alcohol. Oh, and I’ll happily join you, provided its a quality Highland malt, of course.
