As Fred is quiet

The Queen was in Glasgow where she bumped into Alex Salmond

HMtQ: How nice to see you Mr Salmond.

AS: Nice to see you Ma’am. Now, what are we going to call Scotland when we win Independence..? How about calling it a Kingdom, and then I’ll be a King..?

HMtQ: No, we don’t like that.

AS: How about an Empire, and I'll be Emperor..?

HMtQ: No.

AS: Alright, so how about calling it a Principality, and then I’ll be a Prince..?

HMtQ: No Mr Salmond, I suggest we call it a Country and you can carry on as you are.

Didn't know he was a Count already!

Didn't know he was a Count already!

Hmm ... the only "Count" he > is ever likely to be, Roland ... is being "held to account" if an Independent Scotland goes pear~shaped!
