A deserved rp from yesteryear
Was working in a computer shop just outside Swansea Train station a good few years back. Was an ok job, but the bosses were barmy and it all ended in tears, but while it lasted we had a hell of a laugh. The street the shop was on was in "Tramp-downtown" and we'd regularly see the poor bastards wonder past and sometimes glance in at us as we all stare back for an awkward second.

This one particular morning however, things were quite unusual at the station. Police had arrived in their masses and a large glass security car with a double-seat podium sat at the back. It could only mean one thing; the Queen HRH herself was in town. She along with Philip was touring Wales to highlight the opening of the Welsh Assembly some 10-11 years back, and her journey had currently taken her to the station a few yards up from us. Well this don't happen every day, so we congregate by the shop door, waiting for Coin-Bitch to drive past. Apparently there was a parade starting on the Kingsway in Swansea, which is a main road situated at the bottom of our road where the shop was.

After a few minutes the car is loaded and we can see them both clearly in the back (without seat-belts on I might add, road safety gamblers) and they start curb-crawling down past our shop complete with us gawping back. We wave, and Philip gives us all a massive "Hello!" and waves like a madman back, which made us grin like fuck. But the Queen has unfortunately spotted something else, and has a look of horror on her face.

We follow her gaze..........and see on the opposite side of the road 2 tramps taking a shit in a hedge, just as the queen was passing. She's got a look of shock, and we promptly piss ourselves laughing. Some patrolling police officers who are guarding the Royal car start radio-ing in something but it's too late. The Queen's seen Swansea for real and it stung :)

Soz for length of rp, but it was a royal sized number 2...

Just as I might expect
That's Swansea alright.
