theweaselkingBritish 1st Mechanised Brigade expected to deploy to Iraq with a young Lieutenant by the name of Henry Mountbatten-Windsor.
There's no beer and cocaine in Iraq so we know the Bush family won't send anyone, but it's good to see that at least one family with connections doesn't completely shirk responsibility in favour of sending the poor in their place.

Fair enough.
But can you tell me why Peggy is a diminutive of Margaret? I've *never* been able to figure that one out.

MY Gran is called Margaret, never heard her referred to as Peggy, although I had a great-aunt that was. Naming practices are weird.
