Yes. Stuff stamped with the WD arrow is good quality....if sometimes inelegant. The Queens endorsement is known as the Royal Warrant and usually means the product is actually supplied to the monarch. No doubt should she ride a bike it'd be a Triumph. Personally though,as one who's family backed the wrong side at Culloden, I consider the correct royal family remains the Stuart's.... But surely I digress?
Also digressing,My bunch[Farquarsons] had 300 men[and boys] in the centre of the front line at Culloden.Cannon fodder as usual.So they would have been smashed in the first minutes.Did you ever read "Culloden" by John Preebles?Or the "Highland clearances" by the same guy? Those left me with no love of the Stuarts or the "Lairds" of the clans, but then I have no love of the current freeloaders in Buck.House either.
