Irish sergeant. Regarding the "service" in the Women's Auxiliary of Her Maj, a recent documentary on television highlighted the hypocrisy of it all. The group of women who were picked to be filmed with Elizabeth were all told to pretend to be less well informed than they really were, so as not to show up the royal visitor. Margaret's life was one of partying and "merrymaking" as has already been pointed out in the thread. In such occasions no one was allowed to go to bed before her. Getting into politics a little bit, following the assassination of Mountbatten, she is alleged to have said that "All Irish are pigs." The spin doctors at the palace said what she really said was "All Irish dance jigs." I wonder what bright spark thougt that one up.
