The Queen is in Glasgow and she bumped into Alex Salmond.
HMtQ: How nice to see you Mr Salmond.
AS: Nice to see you Ma’am. Now, what are we going to call Scotland when we win Independence? How about calling it a Kingdom, and then I’ll be a King?
HMtQ: No, we don’t like that, it'll upset Charles, you know he sort of has an eye on that job.
AS: Empire, and I'll be Emperor?
HMtQ: Oh no, that will be a real step backwards into the past.
AS: Alright, so how about calling it a Principality, and then I’ll be a Prince?
HMtQ: No Mr Salmond, we've already got enough of them, we've even got another one on the way. I suggest we call it a Country and you can carry on as you are.

Didn't Kenny Everett get thrown off the BBC for a variation of this joke when Margaret Thatcher became PM? The old ones are the best.
