“Recollections may vary”. Harry and Meghan (again - I know!)

Did someone mention cake?

Actually the name with an "h' is said to be Irish. It has a different meaning to the Welsh name and seems to have been made popular by a book of Gaelic names used in the US. More here

Is it then racist to claim it is Welsh?

Who cares?
My name was misspelt on my NHS records and I was not aware until I took possession of the card when I was 18. Far too complicated to change so I accept it; people comment on the old-fashioned spelling, and it Does Not Bother Me.

Did someone mention cake?

It was lemmon drissel.

I'm making my own spelling decisions now.

Drissel? You mean I’ve been asking for Lemon Dribble cake all this time and no one told me?

Lemmon drissel! That did make me laugh Alegrias1
I have a surname that is constantly misspelled, and a Christian name that people often get wrong, but unless it involves documents, I rarely correct people. I appreciate that we are all different, but personally, people getting my name wrong doesn't bother me in the least.

Australians will keep calling her Meegan as the name is pronounced Down Under. Or Meeghan, take your pick.

There is no hope.

We had cheery cheesecake for desert today.

I suddenly became a mr on my tv licence.. I live alone so was surprised.......

Queen gets tax bill on shooting sports at Balmoral estate slashed to lower than village pub

THE Queen has had her tax bill slashed by thousands of pounds for three Scottish shooting estates including Balmoral after making a successful appeal, The National can reveal.

In a controversial move, the new rateable value (RV) for deer stalking at Her Majesty’s largest property in Aberdeenshire – Balmoral Castle – is now lower than that of many pubs, shops and restaurants in the area – some of which may be struggling amid the pandemic.

Never mind Grany, let them eat cake, especially Lemmon drissel or, as I like to call it, lemmun drissle

‘When I Grow Old I Shall Wear Purple’

I’m wearing purple right now ( I think I have royal blood)?
And I’m not even old yet ( old is 85 onwards.)

Laura Lemmun drissle, sounds posh and a bit French.

#Abolishthemonarchy was trending on twitter when it was learnt Queen spending millions defending the sweaty one Andrew.

Queen lost money in shares due to pandemic

Eight gas-guzzling vehicles took the Queen of England and her entourage from Holyrood Palace to the Scottish Parliament so she could lecture Scots on the importance of COP26 and the need to go green. She then left on a helicopter back to Balmoral.

Words fail me!

She was booed

I love lemon drissel cake

I'd like to have some of Josianne's cheery cheesecake if there's any left

You have really upset me lemongrove
I will be 85 next birthday, so please tell me what is going to happen so that I will be prepared.
Will my teeth drop out, I am already white haired so will that fall out too?
I feel I am just coming up to late middle age, have I been kidding myself? ??

I didn't realise until recently it's Rachel Meghan and her surname was originally Merckel (German descent) but changed to Markle when early ancestors emigrated to America.

Getting back to Harry who is so keen on litigation .... why has he not sued Netflix for their dreadful production "Diana: The Musical" in the way they have portrayed his mother? .... oh wait, it's the money!

I didn’t know they were making a musical about Diana, how gross. Why can’t the poor woman be left to rest in peace?

Your teeth will only drop out if you eat too much lemon drizzle cake, annsixty and don't clean them afterwards ?

Don't worry, 85 is still middle-aged these days, elderly is 99+

I think a ballet with swans would be good, but I'm not sure about Prince Charles in tights?

A musical ? So cruel
