There’s quite often a ping-pong of proposals and objections till a watered-down proposal is put forward (which may well be probably what the developer realistically expected to be acceptable in the first place)
I can imagine the Queen reacting quite calmly to the news of a spy in her household… A lifetime in the media aquarium will teach you to manage your emotions very quickly.
Actress Ann B. Davis, best known for playing the part of Alice on the Brady Bunch TV show, had an identical twin sister.
Don’t know about the USA, but in Europe child actors both for series and films are disproportionally often identical twins, because as per health and safety children can only work half as long as adults on set. After half day with one is done, the other takes over, and the adults keep on filming as if nothing has happened.
In case it isn’t clear, I have no clue who Ann B. Davis was and how old she was when she played Alice (Alice? Who the 
is Alice?) on the Brady Bunch TV show (Brady what?). I am just talking about children in TV and film studios.
Sorry, I forgot we have many people here who are not Americans. Davis was in her
40s when she played the roll of the Brady family’s maid, Alice. Her twin sister as
far as I know never was in any movie or TV show.
There are some clips of the show on youtube and here is the wikipedia article
about the Brady Bunch:
That’s funny because I seem to recall a Brady Bunch episode when Alice’s twin sister came to visit, and they used split screen effects to show them both in the same scene. Might have been easier just to hire her real-life twin!
I am truly impressed by the breadth of your cultural knowledge. (Though not necessarily your taste in music).

Even in the US if you don’t refer to her as ‘the maid on the Brady Bunch’ they may not recognize here name. Not sure how well the Brady Bunch is known to millennials but certainly known by the vast majority of Americans born in the 1900s.
The character Alice was referenced in an episode of Cheers where the gang was pondering the question “If the Brady Bunch crashes in the Andes who who’s gonna eat who first?”. Woody knew the answer, “Well they’d probably eat the maid 'cause she ain’t kin.”
I don’t remember that one but I remember the one where Alice tells Jan that she was also the middle of three sisters. Continuity wasn’t a strong suit of 1970s sitcoms.
Might not have been a twin sister, but it was a double of some sort. Identical cousins?
But the maid Alice was the only one who knew how to cook.
I think it would depend on whether her boyfriend Sam the butcher was on board.
Shawarma is the Arabicized form of Turkish çevirme, from the verb çevirmek ‘to rotate, turn, spin’, and means the act of rotation. It’s a synonym of dönmek ‘to rotate, turn, spin’, so döner is the verb conjugation meaning ‘it (always) turns’. Related to dönme, the act of turning, referring to Sabbatean Jews who “turned” into Muslims. In Turkey you can see Dönme people eating döner kebap.
Presumably not related to the Donner Party.
I was in a group where at some point someone mentioned the Donner party and some of the non-Americans thought it was a typo.
There a lot of cultural references that we non-USAians struggle with.
24(!) years ago when I started lurking I remember wondering what the heck was a GOP, who was the Johnny that was heeeeere, and who was this “Fonzie” person.
I’m an American and don’t know that reference.
Johnny Carson, for decades the iconic host of the Tonight Show.
Ah, I’m familiar with him, but I guess not the previous reference.
I see the 20th anniversary of this death is a week from today.
