Electric soup was a beverage beloved of the lower orders in Glasgow. It was prepared by filtering coal gas through a pint of milk. Sounds even worse than sangria!

Perhaps our American friends could issue a special note (bill) bearing the portrait of our Queen, Elizabeth II, to commemorate her 90th birhday? All right, she´s not an American but I´m sure she would like to be. You could make her an honorary citizen. After all, we are your closest allies. Wink

Sure. Her image could go on the back of the one dollar bill --- opposite George Washington, who graces the bill's front. Wink

I think it would be more accurate to say she would like it if the crown still owned America.

I thought you were pulling my leg so I did a search for Electric Soup. It sounds revolting.
