Allow me to add my own praise to the end of this wonderful TL.

Given that you both started this in April of last year did anything about it change with the general election or any of the other developments over the past nine months?
 
Well done!

I must say that Krishnan Guru-Murthy would be great on QT :D.

And can we all punch Andrew Neil now? Or perhaps send him to Iran to cover Operation Ahura Mazda?

Breakfast at Balmoral. Oh Jesus. I didn't expect that.

A brilliant timeline and a well constructed constitutional arrangement that feels very Blairpunk, very British, yet with a lot of American influences.
 
As ever, from two of the masters of Alt. British Politics, a beautiful masterpiece that is entertaining, thought-provoking, and still plausible too.

Well done, lads!

You're too kind. Thank you to everyone for reading, it's been a blast to get this done. Special thanks to Iainbhx, who planted the 'election night' TL format seed, and to Thande, whose 'Partying Like It's 1999' took the genre to new heights.
 
This was absolutely cracking. Really enjoyed it. If I had a hat, I'd take it off to you chaps.

Breakfast at Balmoral is an amazing and horrifying prospect, but the good thing is that Philip will look positively modern in his racial views when compared to Andrew Neil and his shitty puns. Lots of fun little nods to all sorts of ideas - Doncaster, King Cobra, et al. As always with you two chaps, it's very well written, informative, entertaining, funny, and even moving. Dimbleby has come in for a fair bit of good natured ribbing in TLs over the years. He's even been shot in the face with a water pistol! That sign-off was genuinely touching.

It was well worth the wait. :cool:
 
This TL is now available from Sea Lion Press, in Kindle eBook format.

Featuring:

  • A catchy new title!
  • An updated text, fixing some errors and adding new content!
  • Appendices and an afterword, to give a little more sense of worldbuilding!
  • An excellent cover by Lord Roem!

I have just read this timeline through and wanted to add my own thank you for such a fun read!

While I personally can't quite see QEII abdicating, even after the 'Diana Crisis' somehow you both make it work and play into that 90's feeling so well.

Congrats again.
