A SMALL boy on a coach tour of London was shown Buckingham Palace. That is where the Queen lives, the guide told him.

"What are the railings around the Palace for?" he asked.

A companion chipped in scornfully: "That's where the Queen hangs her washing, silly."

The story comes from Ambassadors of Britain, who supply guides to look after visitors to London. (Telephone 01-351 5205.)
