I noticed TK you seemed to go around and ignore my previous post on this thread on the subject of who invented and produced the first steam engine and he certainly wasnt ENGLISH!!!!!

We own the Colonies, never forget that. And the swans.

They're all the Queen's. Put that swan steak back on the buffet...

Exactly. We ARE The Queen.

Up the Queen, I say.

Oh oops, I misread that at first, I thought I was going to have to hang you for treason for a minute there. Glad it's not the case. A toast to the queer old dean!

No danger, I'm well into the Royal Family.

When HM the Queen - Princess Margaret as she was then - "christened" a GWR Locomotive at Swindon Works in 1952, (Princess Margarret was the name, by coincidence...) she went up on the footplate & acted as the driver. My Dad was the fireman, & when the signal went "off" he had to say the traditional Fireman's words "right away Mate". Not too many get to call her mate"....!

A few Limeys, a Frenchman, a Jock, but it's a hell of a way along before a Taff invents a dodgy engine liable to exploding.....

Having tried goose, I wouldn't mind trying a roast swan.... If only that German woman wasn't so greedy keeping them for herself....

Also, scholars at Christchurch College in Oxford are allowed to eat swan once a year, I think because the queen owns them too.

Maybe she eats the scholars afterwards.
