Speaking of Her Majesty, has anyone seen the movie The Queen yet? I haven't, but I hear good things. I also understand there are some scenes at Balmoral Castle, so I expect there should be some kilts.
P.S. The isssue of some people not knowing the words to O Canada is probably true, but I imagine its mainly because they keep trying to change the words on us!!!
