Problem
How do you send good wishes to Australians who are several hours ahead?
Answer
The queen must have made her speech and sent it out there early. My family have watched it from Australian Broadcasting in Singapore hours ahead of England.
One interesting statistic from the speech; H M The Queen said that The Commonwealth has 52 countries. The world has about 110, so roughly half of them are in The Commonwealth.
The British newspapers have already produced a summary of her speech and some of the highlights in advance. Now I know they do not need to be sent a summary. They simply need to listen to the Australian version.
The Queen's Speech In Flawless Queen's English
As a member of Toastmasters International, I must commend the queen on giving a speech with no 'pause fillers', no ers, no ums, not a single actually nor even one 'you know'.
Australia
At the end of the queen's speech I enjoyed the pictures of Christmas celebrated in Australia. Santas surfed the waves. Santas sat on the beach eside Christmas trees. Hundreds of santas strolled int ehwaves. Dozzens of Girl Santas in red bikinis paraded along the beach. Instead of a snowman there was a sandcastle man.
