sorry dotty what do you mean confused?

[mightywease]

She still is isn't she, I don't think she has taken American citizenship though i'm not certain

[dotty.]

Just checked and her birth is registered in Swansea Q4 1969 ref 8b 4595. So she is British by birth, has she taken US citizenship or something?

[mccfluff]

i can understand services to charity but services to the film industry???

[McMouse]

Born in Wales of Welsh parents........what don't you get?

[rowanwitch]

services to the elderly and frail....

[dotty.]

I mean why is she saying she is a British Subject when she is in England? You only become a British Subject when you are abroard,

[mightywease]

It is slightly more complicated than that but in her defence I think she is using it in what now would, legally, be an old fashoined sense. She perhaps should have said British citizen.

[sunflower68]

doesn't she live in the USA?

[dotty.]

perhaos she should have just said British.

[mightywease]

Yes she does but she is still a British citizen

[dotty.]

I don't think she did, she's probably lived in the US too long

[pa___ul3]

services to the film industry!? erm.. Zorro, Entrapment.... that's all I can think of!!

[dotty.]

I know that's all I could think of too, oh and Chicargo, never seen that one.

[jackthehat]

Oscar for Chicago................?
Traffic was good, too.

[dotty.]

Oh yes Traffic was good, can't remember her in it though lol

[dotty.]
