Queens Dispatch Box
All knowing sigforum.

Anyone know where I could find a replica of the dispatch box used by the queen of England?

I can post a pick if necessary but it’s simple to google. It’s a gift idea for the wife, custom made would be great.

Email me if you know of someone.

I expected more when I googled it. It basically looks like a red kids suitcase.

The red boxes, which are now an iconic symbol of the United Kingdom government, are of uniform design, constructed of slow-grown pine and covered with red-stained leather. Each box takes three days to finish.[2] They are produced by Barrow Hepburn & Gale as they have been for over a century, when the current form of the box first took shape.


The Wikipedia article has other details.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Better than you imagine! As non-EU citizens, you don't pay the 20% VAT!
