Will one send one a card?

THE Queen is seeking an extra pair of hands to help send out congratulatory messages to mark her loyal subjects’ major milestones — such as turning 100 — and the successful applicant will be paid £21,000 a year.

‘It’s sending congratulations that are never forgotten,’ says the advert for the job. Unlike three of her four children, the Queen has enjoyed a long marriage, and will mark her 70th wedding anniversary to Prince Philip next year. But will she deliver a congratulatory card to herself, as Palace custom dictates?
