While in a Scottish doctor's office yesterday...

…the receptionist asked me how I was.

Fine, though I was watching the latest British news with some fascination. She gave me a crooked smile and said in a low voice, “Yeah, but nothing ever comes of it.”

I mentioned that most Americans would say they don’t have a “horse in the race” regarding British royalty issues. But in this case, 3/4 of them are begging the Brits to “P.L.E.A.S.E. H.E.L.P. U.S.”

She completely understood.
