When a Republican party wins the General Election, their first act in power is to strip the royal family of their assets and titles and send them to live on a housing estate in the Midlands. Exchanging Buckingham Palace for a two-bedroomed semi in Hell Close (as the locals dub it), caviar for boiled eggs, servants for a social worker named Trish, the Queen and her family learn what it means to be poor among the great unwashed. But is their breeding sufficient to allow them to rise above their changed circumstance or deep down are they really just like everyone else?

Picked up at the May evening meet of Coventry Bookcrossers.

Fairly funny... seems fairly outdated now, especially as the Queen Mother, Princess Di and Margaret are now dead.

Picked up at the Ryton Organic Festival.

Enjoyed this. It' a bit dated (Diana & Charles are still married) and unfair on Prince Philip but I found it funny.

RELEASE NOTES:

On the OBCZ bookshelf. Listened to some great sax when I dropped it off - there is a jazz festival there this weekend. Unusually Summersault is open 11-3 on Sunday for the festival.
