Does Queen Elizabeth ever dine with ordinary folks?

[owlstretchingtime]

I’ve “eaten” with the Queen ie within walking distance, but not exactly intimate, on several occasions - as a guest at a formal do. These sort of invites come along if you do the right sort of job (mine have usually come through the Queen’s Awards for Industry/Export - which is the line I’m in).

I have also been invited to Highrove a couple of times, which again is an occupational hazard (and the Prince Of Wales hits you for a “donation” to the Prince’s Trust).

HM the Queen has better food and is more generous with the wine.

Recently a tabloid reporter infiltrated the Place and exposed the thruth about how the queen dines when alone:

Ahh…but we are! The Celts aren’t the original inhabitants <i>either</i>, and more to the point they originate from South-East Germany. They took over Britain in two waves, the first around 600-400BC and the second around 150BC.

IIRC there is some recent dispute about whether the ‘invasions’ were of ‘bloodstock’ or really of culture- a limited number of people joining the indigenous population and carrying their culture with them.
