indeedsir_backupSaw this on the BBC website today in an article about the Queen's 80th birthday and it made me giggle. I think I need to get out more!
The Queen's birthday present from Prime Minister Tony Blair's Cabinet was a china tea set made by Spode pottery in Staffordshire, said Downing Street.
Mr Blair's official spokesman said Buckingham Palace had indicated it was "something the Queen specifically would like".
A spokesman for Spode, the UK's oldest pottery maker, said the set, from its Stafford Flowers range, would have cost about £1,000.
