Hah. This made me laugh. Fair play to the man. He has certainly done it right

I thought it was an Aussie person who had some right to it?

Can you imagine the palace garden parties if an Aussie was king? BBQ and Fosters

I for one welcome our newer Yankee overlords.

Somebody ought to inform this usurper that there are two Ns in Britannia.

Hah, I like him. I say we give him a go.

Seems legit

Yeah there is. They have a more direct line than our current monarchy but some ancestor of there's was basically shafted!

Fosters, it's quite funny because no Ausse will drink it. They just export it to the dull British public

When we were in Oz I asked a fair few aussies if they enjoyed Fosters and oddly only a few even knew what it was :confused:

They love their Tooheys tough. Taste like peepee too, just like Fosters.

Anyway, I'd love an aussie king. Any friend of the flip flops is a friend of me.

Yet VB and Carlton draught are pretty disgusting.
Tooheys and Carlton cold were acceptable.
They do even export it. It's made here. The Australian thing is just a gimmick bought from the Aussies for advertising. The owner isn't even Australian anymore.
You won't get enough market share from the established brands over there so they don't bother. Nothing to do with them not liking it.

So if this is indeed valid for whatever reason or if there were more rightly valid royalty, is it even possible anymore to assert ownership of the crown?

Is there even a process allowable for this?

We had our family tree traced way back. I'm a few 100 in line for the throne in Norway apparently. So if I can bump off enough people I can be king somewhere!

That's how it works right? I saw that documentary, Game of Thrones.

Sounds similar to the story on Johnny English
