Hi all! Seeing as it's not long to go now before the earth-shattering excitement of the Queen's Jubilee, and given that everyone around here just loooooooooooves the Royal Family ( ), I thought I'd share this little quiz I found, courtesy of Tesco Magazine:

(I'm apparently as royal as Chelsey Davy! )

Hahahaha... who'da' thunk it :


You’re as royal as Zara Phillips

You’re young, fresh and aristocratic, just like Zara Phillips. You may not be as supreme as the Queen, but there’s definitely something noble and striking about you.

You’re not afraid to try something bold and new – in fact, you’ve been known to have a slight rebellious streak others would crave. Whether you’re sporting a striking fascinator at a wedding, getting your tongue pierced or attending a rugby match to cheer on your other half – you feel comfortable in your own skin and content with the choices you make.

You have a fondness for sports, particularly horse riding, and you’d love to build a career out of it rather than depend on familial connections and inherited wealth. You like to stay out of the limelight and opt out of going to glam engagements and swanky nightclubs – you’d rather have a pint down the local pub than a glass of fizz at a trendy Chelsea bar

Apparently this is me...!

You’re as royal as Chelsy Davy

You’re more of a girl next-door type just like Prince Harry’s ex Chelsy Davy. You prefer a laid-back night out with your mates over a bottle of Chardonnay, rather than a glitzy state dinner with the finest Champaign and foie gras vol-au-vents.

You like nothing better than to socialise with friends and you’re the one to initiate events and nights out, from pub quizzes at the local and Come Dine With Me style dinner parties, to shopping trips at the local mall and group holidays to Cornwall.

You’re wholesome, charming and comfortable in your own skin, exuding a sense of confidence that others find attractive. You’re a low maintenance kinda gal and tend to steer clear of the latest beauty or fashion trends – you’d rather spend your time and money elsewhere.

You like to think of yourself as a down-to-earth and fancy-free person, and you respect those that stand their ground and are true to who they are.

That sounds nice, cantata - "noble and striking"!

Why would you not keep your breakfast cereal in the box it came in?

It's a girls quiz but I thought what the hell and did it anyway

I got Zara Philips

I was hoping for "you're about as royal as that Cockney Taxi Driver bloke. You think the royals are nothing but filthy rotten parasites sucking the life blood of humanity. Bring back the Guillotine!"

Actually the Zara Philips thing isn't bad. I just didn't want to be associated with the royal bint

Sorry about the girliness of the quiz, peeps - I didn't think of it! Oh, well!

I was wondering that, WUB! Actually, you can get Tupperware cereal dispensers with a flip top, but I can't see the point - unless of course it keeps the cereal fresher for longer, or something?

Yes, it does keep them fresh for longer. I HAVE to use them... the child declares she wants cornflakes and then has a bowl... and doesn't touch them again for 7 months, when she spits them out for being stale! So it's not just me being "noble and striking". It cuts down on wastage and money.

(Zara Philips, "noble and striking"??? Are they ? Just shows how alive the King's Clothes mentality is).

Wow, it got me just right...

You’re as royal as Kate Middleton

Delightfully demure and humble, you’re just like Duchess Kate. You’re thoughtful and caring, deliberately shying away from the limelight, letting the more confident souls take centre stage. Despite a coy demeanour, you always stand out from the crowd and light up a room with your beautiful features, warm smile and delicate poise.

You’re charming and graceful and you sure have the likeability factor – you’re rooted in normality but you have a certain je ne sais quoi. There’s a sense of regality about you, from the way you present yourself to the elegant clothes and delicate jewellery you wear. You have a weakness for fashion and admire the creations of British designers but you tend to keep it safe and choose sensible ensembles you’re comfortable in.

You’re a sporty type and enjoy a good game of hockey or tennis in your spare time but you’re never competitive, enjoying the experience rather than the aggressive need for a win. You’re inspired by the work of charities and humanitarian workers and motivated by helping others less fortunate than yourself.

Whether you’re attending the opening of a hospital children’s ward, lazing on the couch with a cuppa tea and a hob nob, or at a state dinner with cocktails and canapés, you feel at ease with all scenarios and ready for anything life throws at

You're as royal as Will Smith,

Arrogant, smug and universally hated, you're just like Will "Fresh Prince" Smith.

^ ^

Aw, never mind, bat - we all like you!!

So the kids think they are eating branded/advertised stuff. Not an issue in our house as they don't see adverts or branded cereals!
