How about some first hand reports on the activities celebrating
the Queen's 60th year on the throne?

As far as I can see, nothing at all except some shops using
Royal Family and Union Jack kitsch in their window displays.
One local pub about 2 miles away has Union Jack bunting round
it.

This song dates back to 1952. If anything it reflects Scottish
public opinion better now than it did then:

There are going to be a hell of a lot of Union Jack cupcake moulds
going cheap next week.

Typical bah humbug comment from a Scot. I am allowed to say this as I am
half Scottish.
