About the Name Windsor
The royal family has little use for last names - after all, everyone knows who they are. Princess Diana did not take back her maiden name, Spencer, after her divorce; she continued to be known simply as "Diana." The Queen signs official documents "Elizabeth R." The R stands for Regina, which means "queen." (Regina is not one of her given names; she was baptised Elizabeth Alexandra Mary.)

But the royal family does have a last name, and they do use it from time to time. This wasn't always the case. Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, was a member of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, so her descendants were part of that dynasty. This, however, was not the family's last name. They didn't have one, because they didn't need one, so they didn't worry about it. Experts later worried about it for them and decided their name was probably "Witten" (or maybe even Wipper).


BTW the belian family are also of the house of Saxe-Coburg.

equiya: what is that????

I was so hot here this summer. I have a fan in my bedroom near the bed, 2 in the living room running at full blast, windows wide open. Others have their own air con here in this building.
Ya i totally believe that because I live a two hour freeway drive from the windsor canada border and it gets hot here in the summer too.

JeanMarlow: I would not want to live in Canada, too cold.


Canada is a very big country. Where in Canada are you referring to? It it is not cold all year round where I live in southwest Ontario. I am even thinking of installing air conditioner in my apartment. The heat in the summer and early fall is unbearable for me. Very nice cool weather here in the Spring.

I´m proud, and fortunate I believe in many ways, to be British. However, my adopted country is Spain and has been for seven years now. For me, it´s the best in the world. wine

I wouldn´t mind a 2 week holiday in Canada though. laugh

Kid...minus 50 Celsius...damn Kid that isn't even Canada that is the Antarctic. Nobody lives there. The Arctic and the Antarctic is not owned by any one nation. So the cold wind does not comes from Canada persay. You can blame Santa Claus cause he (and family) live at the North Pole. grin

It was -54 C at my place last winter, just outside of Edmonton, I saw it on the outdoors thermometer, right before the mercury decided to stop moving.laugh

It was a few degrees colder a few hours north of me. cold

Alberta is one of the coldest places in Canada for sure because of the high altitude. Prince Edward Island would go to -40 or 50 and stay like that for a couple of weeks at a time...It would get so cold the ocean would freeze! The snowbanks would freeze at 10 to 12 feet high and it was like driving around in a tunnel all winter. ...Fun Though!! cold

equiya: no

Canada, num 1

I have lived in the US longer than Canada, 12 years total, went to college there etc but Canada is the best



I'm not hip on this here post and all...so please be patient with me...I used to think the good ol' U.S.A, but recently I have my doubts. I've never been to Canada or any other Country but I have been corresponding with some wonderful friends via the internet that live in Canada since 1986...GREAT People..so I think it's as others have mention...You'll find good people from all walks of life, from a little bit of everywhere. Merry Christmas from Kentucky. COLD here too Canada ::wink::
