Queenie might be relieved to know that my ancestors didn't arrive in this country until 1900 - 1910, so way too late for that particular tea party. Also, I know the lady in question is elderly, but the Boston tea party took place in 1773. Surely she isn't that old? Shock

Insane

You're not a royal insider as yet kathy, note the word yet, or you would know that the Royal Family never let a good grudge go to waste, its passed down the family line like a badge of honour to be fulfilled whenever the opportunity arises. King George didn't let that Boston Tea Party grudge go to waste either, he used the attack by British troops on Washington D.C to burn the White House down in retaliation for that little shindig you yankees had in Boston.

On August 24, 1814, during the War of 1812 between the United States and England, British troops enter Washington, D.C. and burn the White House down in retaliation for the American attack on the city of York in Ontario, Canada, in June 1813.

Hahaha, that quote above is the official version of events but old George ordered a fifteen day piss up to be held in his honour when he heard that his royal command had been carried out successfully. When he also heard that President James Madison and his generals had fled the battlefield Georgie boy even paid for the piss up himself, now that was even more remarkable as he was known to be as tight as a camels eyebrows in a sand storm.

Toodle pip.
