Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

I am sure the intention of their DJs' action was to produce the result which occurred.

I wonder what other factors and "support" played a part in the nurses demise.

Outside chance it was nothing to do with the prank Fred. It will all come out in the wash as they say. Very sad though.

A few years ago a radio presenter got through to the Queen and pretended to be the Canadian Prime Minister. The queen discussed what she thought of a number of world leaders. it was being broadcast live on Canadian radio.

I am very sorry for Kate and partner.

The association for them may be "painful".

Also, sorry for the nurse's family and friends.

Sad.

Amazing Haystack. The royals must have their own security personnel in the hospital.
Just should not be possible to happen.

Kate will be shocked Fred. I heard the prangster tape on the news and I am only guessing it sounded like a philipino nurse answered to the djs. May be wrong.

Here is a link to the story

This can only be described as an utter tragedy, so very sad for the nurse and her family.

I do not blame the nurse involved , as said an outside call should never be taken by a nurse.

Here is a better link to the story. I remember the Palace being quite embarrassed.

The security section needs a kick up the a***

Thanks for the links H

Dreamcatcher,

My father is on the end of the middle row on the left next to the Queen's detective. Interestingly, the very tall guy in the middle two rows behind the queen is princess Di's father. It was taken in 1953 on the HMS Gothic on the royal tour of the commonwealth after the coronation.

It is a picture of the Royal Household.

Interesting H that princess Di's father should be in the photo.

He looks just like her brother. They used to call him 'Johnny boy'.

My father was involved in security.

59 yrs ago the photo, I bet it seems like yesterday to you H. How time just flies.

I bet he did a better job then the ones we have talked about.

That must be a record a dozen posts without mention to the conservative party. oops
lol
