Radio Four news flash:

6-year old girl (pecked by a swan while visiting a pond) writes to the Queen to complain. The Queen writes back to the girl to apologise.

Correction : Queen's aide writes back to apologise I suspect.

Cynic

. Course it wasn't - 'twas the Queen herself.

I suspect the first the Queen knew about it was when she heard it in Radio 4

Actually - I was thinking of writing to the Queen myself, to tell her I'd like to sell my share of Buckingham Palace. After all, it is owned by the plebs (so they say).

Rough calculation (best case scenario):

60 million bricks and other sundry building items divided by 60 million plebs = 1 brick or other sundry item per pleb.

Perhap I won't bother.

Actually this has got me thinking - as all the swans in the land are owned by the Queen, should one bite you can you sue her for negligence?

I suspect this was the point raised by the wee girl.
