That is as maybe but it is still Empire Day for me.

Although in these slightly more enlightened times I might have to concede
to Commonwealth of English Speaking Peoples Day which really doesn't trip
off the tongue so easily.

Any time. Naturally we shall also want Buckingham Palace,
Windsor Castle, Westminster Cathedral, the Palace of Holyroodhouse,
the Tower of London, Balmoral Castle, the bells of St. Clement's
and the corgis.

Uh... on 2nd thought, not the corgis.

The Aussies can have Caernarfon Castle. So they can move it
to New South Wales. (I know Caernarfon is in Old North Wales,
but everything is topsy-turvy Down Under).

ps. We get Bill & Kate, too.
