Ah but isn't it protocol that when Her Majesty has finished her course,then all plates are cleared away? She's a quick eater too apparently....

Really - i'd be a bit miffed if i'd only just started my pudding , before someone came round demanding i stop , before i'd return to the bowl for my second spoonful .

[agchristie]

Bazile,so would I!

I'm not certain that it is fact though about clearing the plates...

[aelmpvw]

it's not like the place is double booked ...

[Sqad]

Protocol......Royal protocol.
Yes her majesty is a slow eater......she chats and then nibbles, but she is also looking around to see how other folks are doing PLUS, she has flunkies who are also making visual checks and have secret signs to tell he if anyone is lagging.
How do i know? Mrs sqad told me.How does Mrs sqad know? She knows everything about the Royal family...;-)

I suppose it wasn't the done thing to bring a bottle of lambrusco from the local Spar, either.

Chips and salad for me with bottle of Czar vodka @ £6.49 and bottle of Happy Shopper Coke (39p)

I could save the country a bit of coin if I were the entertaining monarch!
