Quote - I don't think my vernacular could be called the Queen's English. Fact is, I don't know of anyone who actually speaks it. Not even the RP brigade use it, and certainly not old Liz and her crew.
LOL. By definition, surely the Queen speaks Queen's English? ;) Which reminds me that I was court watching (a bit like bird watching, except you're in court, not in the countryside), and we were required to bow in the direction of the coat of arms representing The Crown whenever we entered or left the court room. Amazing that we take Herself so seriously here in Canada! I think I did wave a Union Jack at Her back in 1977 when Her entourage visited Bolton for the silver jubilee. But there was none of this bowing and groveling stuff that we seem so fond of here in the colonies, I mean, commonwealth.
