News about George Mikes

CRAIG BROWN: The line of people waiting to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II in Edinburgh this week stretches back a mile. According to some, the London queue could take up to 30 hours. It's something of a mystery. Although the Queen participated in a variety of activities throughout her lengthy and varied life, she was never allowed to queue. But queuing, as well as the Beatles' and drinking milk in our tea, is still a thing for which Britons are well-known around the world.
