Pros and cons, in a nutshell, please.

Pros - None really... Republicans would say we can finally change our flag but only a minority of commenwaelth countries actually still have the UJ on their flag.

Cons - New tender needs to be produced, loss of allies and friends and loss of a political voice at CHOGM, loss of a safeguard against a dictatorship.

That makes sense.

Basically the King's wife's official title is Queen, due to a 1936 ruling. That's the law. We only need to change the law if she's to be NOT known as Queen.

However, if Camilla wants to be known as "Princess Consort" she can be - she can ask to be called whatever she wants. Her official title will be Queen though, unless we change the law.

Oh... I must have been posting about that last night. Don't remember that at all!

Beer is a wonderful thing. I hear the Queen even gives royal commissions for brewing it.

I'm not even drinking at the moment.

It's sleep deprivation

I'll crack a cold one for ya.

Back on the beers tomorrow. I've been ill.
