My ex wife's uncle (married to her aunt) was vicar at the church near Balmoral. He was invited to afternoon tea on a number of occasions, in the private apartment. The Queen does the pouring, apparently.

^Thats immensely sensible. Whoever heard of a vicar pouring his own tea.

I don't think they have vicars in Scotland.

What kind of church is she going to near Balmoral if she is head of the CoE?



They should have a Goblin teasmade installed to broach the etiquettical impasse of the ecumenical tea-pouring.

Quite right they have Ministers, he would not have been the Minister or Elder but one step below that. Long time ago. I drove a borrowed Ginetta G15 from Warrington stopping in Aberdeen.

Yes, I had kippers on Arran for breakfast.

Christine Keeler dies just days before her appearance in a Crown episode before Christmas.
Now Billy Graham has died within a few weeks of his episode.
