Hey all,

about 10 mins ago a letter got dropped through the letterbox.. looks like a normal envelope apart from that there's the E II R logo and a round circle with "Buckingham Palace SW1A 1AA" AND a coat of arms at the back of the letter. Also there's my dads name then "Esq." at the end.

I dont really want to open it.. but is is this fake?

Cant get hold of my parents but it is quite exciting :P

Cheers
 
Very much doubt its fake. My dad has had a couple of these in the past. Nothing hugely exciting from what I remember.

Also, you shouldn't open it as it addressed to your dad, not you!
 
Bah opened it.. it is techically from the errr whoever (royal people) but its for a wedding anniverysay - big one - you get a signed letter from the queen or sumit.

oh well :)

You opened your fathers mail? Does he open yours?

it's still a hanging offence to open a letter from the Queen that isn't addressed to you :eek:

Well no.....it isn't.
It's a bit of an urban myth that the death penalty "in theory" still exists for certain crimes.
Usually people say something along the lines of "Did you know that technically you can still be hung for Treason in the UK"?
This is actually "Pub Facts" and not actually tue - it has been some 15 years (I believe) since the last technicality was removed.

On-Topic
Still bang out of order opening mail addressed to anyone but yourself.
Me and the wife will open each other's mail but usually only bills or if we are waiting for something in particular.
We still won't touch each others "unknown" mail - well I might have booked a surprise for her or something.

I was joking, I dont think anyone really thinks it's a hanging offence :p
