    I have an account for the kinky stuff using the pseudonym AssGuru. Unfortunately when I think i have hit the lowest levels of perversion I get suggestions that would make the Bishop of Bath & Wells blush.

    An example would be where you don't turn up at the palace, because to do so would lower the tone.

    God, that sounds positively creepy.

    That kind of over-familiarity might be OK for Yanks, but I can't see it going down very well in the UK!

    (Mind you, it amazes me that Sky TV, for example, allows fast-forwarding through ads. With dexterous use of the Pause button, to obtain some time in hand, or by using catch-up or pre-recorded programs, one hardly ever has to watch or listen to ads.)

    Maybe adverts for etiquette on Garden Parties?

    How's it going to know who is watching? Imagine a basic happy path scenario here:

    The Mrs turns over to watch life on benefits and the first advert says 'Your Majesty...here's some lager from the colonies you might like' how on earth would the next one know to say 'Ma'am...here's some bog roll you might like'?

    Similarly, if i'm watching embarrassing bodies with Harry, it'd need to know to say 'Your Royal Highness' first and then 'Sir' after.

    Sounds like an illogical minefield to me.
