Three posts in and it's thread drift already.

There is an account, which I am assured is true in every detail, of Queen Victoria returning from Victoria Station (London) with a visiting head of state from some far flung corner of the Empire to Buckingham Palace at the beginning of a State Visit.

They were being conveyed in an open carriage drawn by four immaculately turned out Windsor Greys. Anyone who knows horses will be quite used to their flatulent nature. As if on cue, one of the horses let rip with an equine fart of Krakatoa like proportions. The Queen, somewhat embarrassed by this, turned to her visitor and said 'I'm so sorry about that'. Visiting Head of State is said to have replied 'It's quite all right. If you hadn't have said anything, I would have thought it was one of the horses'.

True story.
