good on her. I've never known anything different. It will come as quite a shock when she goes, for all sorts of reasons. I think a big part of her success has been not to do interviews, so I think she comes across as quite neutral as you don't really know what she really thinks. Ideal as head of state for me.
cheers,

She has no issues with the shifting. Now **** that Ivy off.

i think she's the best head of state any country can ask for.
when her reign ends, will we keep the monarchy?

I think she's done well for the English but is irrelevant to Australia.

Worth remembering that at the end of WW2 she was an army driver - the vehicles she drove then would be quite similar to a Landrover to drive except that the Defender pictured in this clip has more synchromesh and more power!

Was she actually a mechanic? Remember that being said somewhere, but no idea if true.

I don't believe so, but there would certainly have been a fair bit of mechanical knowledge covered in a 1940s army driver training course.
