1 Queen's Speech? Is the letter count correct?
2 Brandy butter

[scorpiojo]

3 Deco (code) rations

[Clell]

Thanks scorpiojo.......yes, letter count correct for No1. that is why I didn't think it was Queen's Speech but could not think of an alternative.

[Captain2]

I think The Queen's Speech is at the opening of Parliament; and, I think, it is called The Queen's Christmas Message.
Will have to have a think. :))

[scorpiojo]

Duh, an excellent point ;o)

[Captain2]

Believe it or not I learned that from listening to an episode of my favourite radio programme, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue about 20 years ago. :)))
