There'll Always Be An England

Authentic entries in the books set forth for mourners of the Queen Mother
to inscribe their grief:


"How refreshing to be able to mourn the death of a member of the Royal
family without being accused of being homosexual".

J. Fletcher, High Wycombe.

"She was a trooper and she never gave up. I remember one time she was
visiting a school and I asked her if she would like to make a visit to the
bathroom before she left. 'No' she replied, 'I didn't give in to the Nazis
and I won't give in to the bladder'. That's how she was, a fighter, who
refused to be beaten by anything. She pĂ­ssed herself later though, it was
sickening".

B. Forrester, North Yorkshire.

"On behalf of all blacks, I send the sincerest condolences".

T.Watson, Ilford.

"Perhaps if we automated her old golf buggy it could still drive round The
Mall on its own and bring pleasure to the tourists".

Y. Howell, Slough.

"It is such a loss, God has shat on our heads".

K. O'Neil, Inverness.
