yeah, Elizabeth II Regina, because you should pay obeisance when you post a letter.

They all have them I think

...except the George VI R ones

England is pretty divided about the royals, but I think most of them who aren't hardcore radicals also begrudgingly accept or even admire her. I'm surprised at the number of people claiming to be anti royal or monarchy posting how emotional they are.

I was once snubbed by Princess Margaret as a kid when she visited our school, so I've despised the royals ever since. I only later learned why I perhaps should do, but the main motivation was being a petty schoolboy.

Same reason I hate Jack Charlton.

I suppose state is supplanted by a massive twitter army to protect the Kardashians.

gotcha. Kinda like how the manhole covers in the US trace the lineage of failed telecoms.

We put "in God we trust" over everything which is just as tacky, if not more so.
