^^^^^^^

not wanting to take this too far off topic but many nations including ourselves have Royal Families dating back centuries, and other nations that have developed over more recent centuries have elected heads of state. IMO we need to keep the Royal Family.

if nothing else because they are publicly seen to own, drive, endorse and love JLR and other British brand names..... If its good enough for the Queen (or King) of England.........

Just so you get it right, the royal gesture is a flat palm rotated casually from the wrist . This of course is easy to get confused with winding the window down and sticking your arm out with a closed fist and making a fast pumping motion like using a sink plunger  2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership
