Did you order 2,000 pints of lager, ma'am?

'Perhaps tourists at Windsor Castle thought the Queen was having a party when a lorry carrying 12 barrels of lager pulled up outside her Berkshire home.
But after confusion among staff at the royal residence, it emerged the 2,000 pints were destined for a pub with the same name five miles away. Misko Coric, manager of the Windsor Castle pub in Maidenhead, said the beer, ordered for the England v Croatia football match, finally turned up three hours late.
He said: "We have received mail for the royal household here before but I think this is the first time they have received anything meant for us." '
