re: #524 yma o hyd

What is far more worrying is that they seem to have overridden their own protocol department, who surely must have given them some advice and some options - and that they seem to think that the USA is best represented by movies.
It actually disses all the cultural achievements of so many Americans - its mind-boggling.

Oh - and crass, because they must surely have been told that Gordon Brown is blind in one eye and can’t see very well with the other.

I was wondering what happened to the protocol office - I’m sure one exists. Did they even consult with them?

And I did not know that about Gordon Brown, but couple that with the fact that US DVD’s will not play in UK DVD players - it is mind-boggling. Simply mind-boggling. I feel personally insulted by that this couple failed to represent me properly to the gov’t of the UK.
