Queen of Parts
Queen of PartsDave Leggett | 18 April 2016
The Queen celebrates her 90th birthday on Thursday this week (April 21). She strikes me as being in pretty good shape for her age and, whatever one's view of the monarchy, has executed her duties pretty flawlessly over a long period of time. A most reliable lady. I guess we'll be hearing plenty of tributes, but this unusual one from UK aftermarket firm Kwik Fit had me smiling. 'Kwik Fit for a Queen'.
