It will be incredibly easy to spot which bit of Burnley she will drive through......it will be spotless,painted,win
dows sparkling,plants standing to attention,no overgrown anything anywhere,graffiti free,torn up ads on walls gone,scrubbed and polished,new white and yellow lines,people who are of 'doubtful appearance' will be kept away...it will be unrecogniseable compared to how it normally looks.

Is that why they are doing all the pavements up near the culvert?
Ah well,the council will be paying for a special loo seat for her...that will be destroyed after her visit (happens every place she goes)...can't have a royal 'seat' on ebay can we. :)

I wonder if she has ever been anywhere like the 'Shameless' set in it's all too common reality around the country or been in a 'squat' or seen life without the smell of new paint and brass polish....

Explains why Birtwistle has been blethering on about all the great manufacturers in Burnley today.

Queen commemorates over 60 years on benefits by visiting Towns full of people on benifit.... The Queen, who has been the head of the UK’s most prolific family of benefit claimants since 1952, without even having to queue up and sign for it. How many homes does she own !!!

I am sure that it will be a new experience for the Queen in Burnley when she is greeted with a handshake from a 6 fingered person.
