Encounters with RoyaltyMy good friend Jonathan once had to entertain the Queen whilst she had her portrait painted. The night before he was panicking as he didn't know any clean jokes.
Have you met someone royal? Are you royal? We'd like your story...

Honourable HectorMy Mum is a self-employed bookbinder. She used to do some work for a lowish meber of the royal family called hector. We called him honourable hector.
One time she was trying to get him to pay for some work she'd done for him. She'd paid out for materials etc, and he hadn't got around to coughing up for some months.
In desperation she said she really needed him to pay as we were totally skint. Apparently so was he, because he'd just bought a jumbo jet.
Our version of skint was having to eat weevilly oats and not much else. His was only having a couple of grand in his pocket right now.
I'm not bitter or anything though.
