  • During James May's childhood, he happened to live in Wales at the time when Prince Charles was to be inaugurated as the Prince of Wales. And after waiting for two hours in the rain, little James barely caught a glimpse of the Prince as he tore past in a Rolls-Royce, cementing his dislike for the heir to the British throne. And his disdain survives to this day...

      I was walking my dogs around Saratoga Wyoming when I suddenly got itches on my neck and arms... suddenly I saw a Brand new Rolls Royce.
      I went to the clinic. The nurse said, “Well, it is Conquistadors Week.”
      I was so relieved because it would be another year until I had the symptoms again.
      Look up Saratoga Conquistadors week for the point.

      Yeah, when I was a little kid, my grandad took me too London from Sheffield to see the trooping of the colour. We waited road side with the crowds watching the procession, eventually I said to my grandad, who’s that funny man on that horse? That’s the queen he said. She looked funny to me because she was riding side saddle. After that, we went to the London zoo to see the animals. Those were the days, we went to see the chimps tea party, remember those? There was only a knee high token fence, as I child I though what the hey, I’m going to have lunch with the chimps and hopped the fence, running towards the table, the zoo keepers grabbed me before I’d made it half way, worried the chimps would tear me apart! I’d like to think my grandad would not have been blamed for his impulsive grandson.
