Audience With King Charles and a Cuppa Ceylon Tea

 Audience With King Charles and a Cuppa Ceylon Tea

Yes, I was invited for an Audience with King Charles.

I could not have tea with him as expected (he had no time) but I was asked to pour a cup from a dispenser which I declined.

 

But I was given a chance to raise ten important issues in one minute.

1. Please Accept my Song of Linux and make Linux a Royal Mail Server.

I said Parrot Linux is pretty good and Vatican has a Linux Server.

 

He said NO.

King Charles and the Palace do not use digital mail even encrypted and prefer hand delivery due to security reasons.

 

Besides Royal Mail have to be protected.

2. Please declare Ceylon Tea as the number one.

 

He said NO.

He said Ceylon Tea derivative coming from Kenya is better and they have a Royal Contract with them. 

 

Besides you are not in the Commonwealth.

3. Protect our forest for the elephants for at least 10 years. 

Your father King Philip was the patron of Wild Life.

 

He said NO.

We have adopted Panda as the protected animal.

Besides, we need cheap goods from China, now that President Trump is at loggerhead with China.

4. Please ask Anura Dissanayake our president to Nationalize our Cricket Board.

 

He said NO.

It is said, the big money is coming through Dubai to London and our economy is on downhill course due to Ukraine War efforts and we need economic prop ups.

I was already running short of ideas.

5. Prohibit Caste System in Ceylon.

 

He said NO.

Citing under the Commonwealth Protocol caste system and tribal life have universal safeguards.

6. Protect Buddhism as stated in the constitution.

 

He said NO.

We have agreed with America to protect SOFA and M,C.C (Millaneum Challenge Corporation and America) protocols.

7. Make English as our Link Language.

 

He said NO.

We are no longer in the NATO and there 2000 other languages to protect and English is not one of them.

8. Make Kandyan Dancing our National Dancing.

 

He said NO.

Break dancing is the current vogue and Kandyan Dancing is two conservative.

9. Make Kaputa or Crow our National Bird.

 

He said NO.

Crow is no longer protected but the Australian Magpie has taken that place.

Take some of them and breed them in the wild.

10. Last one was the most sensitive.

Make pipal or Bo tree as our national tree.

 

He said NO.

Bo tree has religious connotations and cannot be accepted and Hindus and Christians might start another War.

11. I kept NUC as my 11th topic in case he gives me a bonus request.

Yes he gave me a bonus request.

 

He said NO.

Citing we have to support Trump's American Tech industry not Taiwan.

 

I was rudely woken up.

I am promoting all forms of mini frame architectures and I am not prepared to buy expensive gadgets from America.

Cheap Chinsese stuff is good enough for me.

GMKtech is a good brand but bit expensive if one has to upgrade.
