The Queen has a brilliant idea!
They all knew the rules of the 'Coffee Game' backwards. They would listen carefully as the customers called out their orders for coffee.Each round was three minutes long and they had two minutes for corrections. The Queen and PC had to write down the English equivalent and then these were checked by...

They looked a merry trio as they spun down the beautiful Umbrian roads. Past olive groves and vineyards. The gently rolling countryside like a patchwork quilt with its brown and green colours. The sky was a brilliant azure colour with a few decorative white clouds. They enjoyed travelling in the new...

Queen wants to have a coffee in a bar.
The Press Secretary hid the Daily Mail just in time, before the Queen entered. It was full of 'The Queen' the new film by Stephen Frears due to be released on September 15th. No point in her seeing that- full of scurrilous, invented conversations! Imagine PC calling her 'Cabbage' affectionately! He...

Queen is upset.
"Those ungrateful wretches" the Queen blurted out. There were many who fell into this category so this was not much help to the Press Secretary. He sneaked a look at the envelope but that did not really give him a clue. It was simply addressed to 'Royals in Exile, Gubbio Castle, Gubbio, Italy'. He...

Queen is shocked!
After his day off on the beach, the Press Secretary knew that the Queen would be turning on the pressure again. There were now some urgent items on his radar. First, the blitz on the EU Parliament with Mr.B. Second a meeting with Mr. Prodi. Then there were all the budget problems, basically they had...

Queen is tempted again.
"The good news is that you could have it modified, Union Jack roof and so on, but you would have to be careful that it does not look too Chav - you know they like modified cars" said the Press Secretary. He could see that PC was getting quite enthusiastic. The idea of a jacuzzi in the boot had...

Queen wants sexy wing mirrors
PC was sulking as the Queen became more and more entusiastic about the Mini Cooper. The Press Secretary enjoying PC's discomfiture pulled out a car magazine "Look at these sexy wing mirrors. We could have the Mini modified and then you would not really need outriders- a big saving" The Queen smiled...

Queen is tempted.
"Well, it looks lovely.." the Queen said. "No need to fly the Union Jack on a pennant with a roof like that. We could have outriders with Union Jack crash helemts as well" They looked at the hype in the advertisement: 'the new Mini Cooper lives up to the promise of its bulldog stance,legendary...

Queen wants a new car.
"Well, rickshaw boys are out I think, although I know they use them in London. Anyway we would have to feed them -out of the question as Maria would immediately ask for a rise or walk out" the Queen said decisively. There then follwed a rather acrimonious debate on their finances. Nothing from her...

Queen covets Margaret Beckett's caravan.
The Press Secretary rose early and had a word with the builders. "That cement mixer goes - anywhere else but not here and this place is a tip!" "No mixer, no work gets done, mate" One of the labourers had been an emigrant to Bedford in the Italian brickworks so was completely bi-lingual. They...
