And now, the heir to a Stuarts is a German guy (Bavarian, to be exact). So if you're a British monarchist, I guess it comes down to whether you want a North German (Hanoverian) or a South German (Bavarian) as your monarch.

Still, they waur polite passengers who treated myself an' th' coaches wi' respect, sae Ah guess Ah cannae complain too much.

While we Equestrians can't really put ourselves above this, being actual "furries" and not humans playin' dress-up... I do have to agree on the weirdness we bring with us. I apologize if we creep you out, but at least we try to respect you and your brethren. Hmm... Now that I think about it.. I think a trip to Glasgow is in order.

My employment level in one of my countries is climbing relentlessly. I just know it's going to plunge when I remove the planned economy. :(
