Sounds like fun! I'll have to see if I can get a copy of it.

Did you ever read "The Queen and I" by Sue Townsend? It was quite popular about 15 years ago. I really enjoyed it. Quoting from Wikipedia "The setting is England, after the 1992 General Election, where the House of Windsor has just been deprived of its Royal status by the People's Republican Party and its members are made to live like normal Britons." I don't suggest you read the rest of the Wikipedia article though; far too many spoilers.
