Man: Coming through... pardon me... make way... Sam: This is so exciting. Man: Here you are, miss - good luck to you! Sam: What? But I'm nowhere near the Abbey! Man: That's right, miss. You're in the holding area for American girls who want to marry Prince Harry. Sam: What? Man: Enjoy! Sam: Are you kidding me? Zonker: No, no, this is good - you can size up the competition.

Poor Sam…

Oh dear. Now lose that hat - bad form, big hats block other people’s view and anyway I gather ‘fascinators’ are the daft headgear of choice for such events nowadays.

And this is just the American branch. At least she’s the best dressed in that bunch. She might get noticed yet.
And leave it to Zonker to look for a bright side in a black hole…

sandfan - nice use of the local vernacular :) but I think “git” is normally a male pejorative. Probably “slapper” would be the best collective noun for the situation - although it sounds a bit harsh when we have sweethearts like Sam in the crowd.

Apparently the real competition won’t be wearing frumpy peach.

Dressing like Harry’s mother-in-law or granny probably won’t get poor little Sam much attention.

Just think, If my great x 6 uncle had captured Montreal in 1775 … instead of getting captured, it may have put and end to this Commonwealth realm thing, thus no need for the royals, and Rina would have been liberated from having to eat that ghastly or gassy poutine for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and could enjoy a proper Continental diet of corn dogs and potato chips, washed down with a cold Pepsi.

Once again, a true prediction from GT. Has to be some divine transmission.
