Queen to attend Cabinet Meeting

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson also attended Primrose Hill Primary School but ended up at Eton and you don't get much posher than that.

Table Mats!!?

What else can you give her? A race horse?

I recommend following @Queen_UK on Twitter for a bit of piss-taking on this and other royal matters. Very funny.

I love writing "FWINK"

It does trip off the fingers easily, doesn't it!

Isn't she only allowed gifts of x amount of money?

The mats were not given from the public purse and wasn't a sum of money also given to the Silver Jubilee Charity?

Had it been the public purse and more money spent it would not suit either. Can't win sometimes.

I bet the Queen was thrilled with the present they gave her. Sixty table mats!!

They did say it was suggested by the Palace . It looked awful.

Well that's all her maj's Christmas presents sorted anyway !
1 for Phillip
1 for Charles
1 for Camilla
1 for William
3 for Catherine ( hmmm never know)
1 for Harry
1 for Anne
1 for corgi 1
1 for corgi 2
1 for corgi 3
1 for Anne's husband. ( what's his name again, Tim something or other )
Oh and those middletons ???? That's another 3.

Oh this is such fun anyone care to add to the list I am tired and the fluff and broken biscuits are getting me down !

to myself anyway .

Labour front bench has 1/3 women which is double to proportion on the coalition front bench. This reflects the different proportions of men and women in Labour and Conservative - one in three compared to one in six.

gillybob,

Does Anne still have a husband? Sorry, lost track.

Who cares anyway?

They do look rather exceptional for them as is interested and for gillybob and Bags www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/david-cameron/9752199/Queen-receives-60-placemats-after-David-Cameron-invited-her-to-Cabinet.html

Look at this! bunch of schoolkids and one sensible lady

Cameron and Clegg are squashing her!!!

She looks bored. Tired to death with the lot of them.

Do you think those placemats will ever be used?

I've just had a look at them. They're quite nice, actually - 3d effect.

Lovely in a palace, certainly. They'd look out of place in my house.

Yes Bags "Tim nice but dimm" something or other .

Llewelyn Bowen I think.....

Ooops no its Lawrence.

What??? Princess Anne is married to Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen???
She kept that quiet.....

I missed that too.

Blimey O'Reilly what a pair they would make !
