Back in the day

[JackDanielsU]

George Bush met The Queen on a state visit and he turns round and says: "As I'm the President, I'm thinking of changing how the USA is referred to, and I'm thinking that it should be a Kingdom"

The Queen replies "I'm sorry Mr Bush, but to be a Kingdom, you have to
have a King in charge - and you're not a King."

George Bush thought a while and then said: "How about a Principality
then?",

To which the Queen replied "Again, to be a Principality you have to be a
Prince - and you're not a Prince, Mr Bush".

Bush thought long and hard and came up with "How about an Empire then?"

The Queen, getting a little annoyed by now, replies "Sorry again, Mr
Bush, but to be an Empire you must have an Emperor in charge - and you
are not an Emperor."

Before George Bush could utter another word, The Queen said: "I think
you're doing quite nicely as a Country".

Isn't George B. now seeking election as mayor of Scunthorpe?

[ummmm]

Back in the day we couldn't type 'Scunthorpe' into AB.

This was the joke that got Kenny Everett sacked from the radio. His spin on it was 'when we had an empire we had a emperor, when we had a kingdom we had a king. Now we are just a country we have Margaret Thatcher"

Bless him....

Now would I do that, starbuckone?
