Sainsbury's. The first time she visited a grocery store was in the
1960's on a visit to the United States. She was amazed at all the fresh products. Can you really buy all of this in one place? Fast forward to 2019: She visited Sainsbury's. She didn't marvel at the selection. She's worried about identity theft and people cheating using automated self checkout stands. Jill |

I don't know but I do hope they do not ask her to entertain Trump again. He was such a clod last time, they shouldn't ask it of her. |

But I got the decade wrong. She visited her first grocery store in 1957, not in the 1960's. https://blogs.weta.org/boundarystone.../queen-aisle-4 "So, imagine you are doing your Saturday afternoon grocery shopping at the local supermarket. All of a sudden a motorcade pulls up. Out pops the Queen of England and the royal prince. They walk into the store and begin to wander the aisles, indulging in the free samples and chatting with customers. After a few minutes they exit the store, get back in their limo and drive off. Seems pretty far fetched, right? Well, maybe so, but that is exactly what patrons at the (aptly named) Queenstown Giant Food store in West Hyattsville experienced in October 1957. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip had come to the United States to take part in the 350th Anniversary celebration of the settlement of Jamestown, Virginia €“ the first permanent English settlement in America. (Nice of them to come, considering the subsequent unpleasantness, which resulted in the American Revolution€¦ but I digress.) After the festivities, they traveled to Washington, D.C. to stay with President Eisenhower at the White House and, it seems, experience a little Americana." Jill |

Nothing about here being impressed at the wide array of foods and vegatbvles available. I'm just wondering what the source was for your original two paragraphs. The Queen would not be concerned with identity theft and card skimming. Nor be impressed with an American grocery store in the 50's or 60's. Where's Gregory Morrow? She's the expert on Queens. -sw |

I think she's a marvel at her age. ![]() This is all just BS. The queen hasn't shopped for 5 decades. And all this staged shit is just blowing smoke up the asses of the Royally Obsessed. We should have pitched a rec.food.cooking reality TV show to the networks 5-7 years ago. The season finale could have been a cook-in at Julie's or Jill's clubhouse, where we have to find all our ingredients locally while spotting farm stands and/or bags in trees :-) That really doesn't sound that unrealistic if you think about it flip past any reality TV shows these days. But we've lost our best kooks vs. stable people since then. -sw |

Thank you. This little event was staged for the sheeple. It gave Jill something to drool over while she was eating her steamed vegetables. |

I really see no reason why the Queen or anybody else from the royal family should receive Trump. Let him be satisfied with what's-er-name.

Digestive problems. And one who May not be PM by then. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/11...ald-trump-the- queen-state-banquet-buckingham-palace-brexit-party https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politi...ercow-refuses- invitation-14709262 http://www.talk-finance.co.uk/britai...rities-refuse- to-participate-in-a-state-banquet-with-trump/ Btw, just a note on court etiquette for Americans. When invited to a State Visit, do not reply " Okay to bring all the kids? Oh, and make sure Nigel Farage gets an invite to dinner cos he really really likes me, but leave out the Lord Mayor of London cos he's brown and a Muslim." The Queen's bod is strictly off limits. Do Not Touch, pat, hug, or walk in front of her. Do not vomit on the Prime Minister's lap. Janet UK |

I expect some of the staff are happy about that ![]() the corgis" and it's very amusing. |
