that all right thinking Scots, both domiciled at home and those flung far in the Dominions
share with the editor of the JT great disquiet on news reports that very few street
parties are being organised in Scotland to celebrate Her Majesty’s golden jubilee.
Long term readers of this august journal of record will know that the
Royal Family is a subject dear to your editor’s heart, indeed the highly interesting
lives of our first family form a recurring motif in your editor’s weekly scribblings.
In a very real sense the JT relies on the healthy continuance of our
first family to provide a constant stream of newsworthy snippets.
I am therefore taking a stand on this matter and I now appeal to the
big-hearted readership of the JT to ensure that her majesty’s regal anniversary is
properly marked by a massive street party the length of breadth of Scotland.
"But how, dear editor", I hear you ask, "can we help make
this happen?"
It’s so easy, I’m surprised no one has thought of it before:
send me money. |
In the great tradition of freely
given cash supporting our most regal institution. I
make the call now: send me your cash to ensure that in June the towns and villages of Auld
Scotia ring with the sound of jubilation as we give thanks for the myriad beneficences of
royal rule. It couldn’t be easier, simply send cheques made
out for at least, say, a grand to me and I shall spend the money wisely on your behalf.
For complicated reasons that I don’t have time to go into, cheques should be made
payable to me personally or, even better, made out to "Cash".
If you need to save up to make the dream happen, don’t worry,
I’ll be accepting money right up to great day itself and indeed, now that I think
about it, I’ll still accept money after the great day has passed…and indeed, for
the foreseeable future.
Simply send the cheques to: "The Editor, Casa de Puta, Ibiza",
and remember, to avoid embarrassment to Her Majesty make sure you have sufficient funds in
your account to cover payment.
