Question of the Day

Hey 10,000 Pounds for a queen's head, It's a fair bid ;)

You describe Queen Elizabeth as 'the country's ruler'.

This is not so.

QE11 is the monarch of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland [southern Ireland - now called Eire - having gained independence many years ago].

The UK is ruled by parliament and politicians, not by the monarch.

How can there be "three copies" of the original? Is that another way of saying the original is gone?

@Mr Phillips: "You describe Queen Elizabeth as 'the country's ruler'."

It was Queen Victoria that was referenced, actually.

kj, what's confusing about having copies of the original? There were copies of the Declaration of Independence. And the Magna Carta. People did backups of important documents long before computers existed. Except Moses didn't have a backup of the Ten Commandments and had to go back for another original.

@johhny cat. it is Queen Elizabeth in the bust, Queen Victoria was mentioned as the first queen to appear on the stamp.

Pretty academic really as it's Queen Elizabeth II and she isn't the countries ruler.

"Ruler" changed to "sovereign" in the post,

leave the queens head alone. she's not done with it.

Dickhead...Its "Arnold" Machin, not Arthur!!!
come on, say it with me "A R N O L D".
