GOD SAVE THE QUEEN! PLATINUM ANNIVERSARY BORING POSTCARDS FROM BUCKINGHAM PALACE AND LONDON

1. The Handing Over the Keys Ceremony at the Tower of london

A strange British custom -- raising your top hat when you hand over some keys

2. The Tower Guard at the Tower of London

These are Coldstream Guards, one of the 5 Regiments guarding the Tower. (You can tell that they are Coldstream Guards because the buttons on their tunics are grouped in twos; Every True Brit knows this sort of military trivia)

3. Changing of the Guard at the Tower of London

These are Scots Guards, another of the 5 Regiments guarding the Tower. (You can tell that they are Scots Guards because it says so on the back of the Postcard.)

4. The Queen's Guard Parade (outside Buckingham Palace)

How can you tell when the Queen is in Buck Pal? Because the Royal Flag flies on top of it; (When she is not there a McDonalds' Golden Arch replaces it)

5. Yeoman Warden at the Tower of London

These Wardens are more commonly known as' Beefeaters'. I don't think there are equivalent groups of vegaetarian or vegan Warders.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

THREE POSTCARDS FROM JEAN-PHILIPPE GILLIOT. INTERESTING OR BORING? THE PANEL DECIDES....

J-P kindly sent me these Postcards and asked 'Are they Boring?' I put this question to the Executive Members Panel of the Group -- Do Ghi and Mr Boots, and this what they decided....

1. Steps in an old Village, Midi, Provence, France

Mr. Boots: this is very Boring. Don't post it.

Do Ghi: (no comment -- he took one look at it and went to sleep)

2. Street Scene,  St-Guilheim-le-Désert, Languedoc, France

Mr. Boots: OK, that one is Boring

Do Ghi: but don't post it

3;'Quiteness', Provence, France

Mr Boots: this one is interesting. Why is the cat basket open, And why is there a cat on the window-sill?

Do Ghi: no it's not interesting at all. Nor is it Boring. You are obsessed with cats!

Mr Boots: what do you expect? I am a cat!

And so J-P, as there was no agreement as to whether these Postcards are Boring or not, it is with extreme regret that I must tell you that they cannot  be posted here. But do, pkease, send some more for considertaion at the next meeting of the Executive Members Panel
