Royal Residence.
.
Her majesty was probably not amused. A delivery of beer intended for football fans at the Windsor Castle pub in London was incorrectly delivered to the Royal residence of Queen Elizabeth II.
Twelve Barrels
.
Apparently, twelve barrels of lager arrived at the gates of Windsor Castle, but royal staff scratched their liveried heads because there was no verification of the order.
.
What were they thinking of? I think I'd have been tempted to slip it through had I been there .... Perhaps that’s why they never emailed me about the position in the first place!
Silly Mistake
.
'It was a silly mistake - these things can happen. The barrels did eventually arrive at the correct place, about three hours late, but there was no problem,' said Misko Coric, the pub landlord. 'We have received mail for the royal household here before but I think this is the first time they have received anything meant for us.'
.
Don't think of it as a pub-with-no-beer, Misko, think of it as a huge publicity stunt!
.
I think the late Princess Margaret – an inveterate tippler, of world renown - might have been amused, but the Queen is a drinker of water and Lucozade, and the funny side will probably have been missed.
.
Cheers!
