that's good to hear - shame it took the frickin king to sort it. I suppose the international embarassment was too much to bear... for their allies.

I know what you mean. It's ridiculous it should have taken this long and need a member of their Royal family to do it. But I suppose their customs are different that ours (I don't want to condem them for being different, but I can't say I personally agree with them).
