Well not wanting to channel Jorge but I am not really sure what they are there for.
Not sure I would bow to her all the same, not sure I would bow to any person in fact just to clarify that it is nothing personal to her or any specific anti-royalty stance.
I would simply treat her with good manners and respect as I would hope to any person, especially an old.
So one should bow to a superior?
My boss would think this most odd and may perhaps call me a c**t.
All nations have a head of state. I believe you have some sort of president?
We just continue to do things the proper way, with a head of state anointed by God to rule over us :shrug:
If you failed to bow to her you would, of course, be displaying incredible rudeness and insensitivity. That is your privilege as a foreigner. If jorge did something similar, he would of course be executed for treason.
And you'd be fine by HMQ.
We do, but then I wouldn't bow to him either.
Have you f**king seen the chap???
In fact, when last year I was privileged to meet a Zambian tribal chief, it cost me not a moment's
thought to bow to this wise, elderly gentleman who holds such an elevated position in his community, purely out of respect to local custom and mores.
I most certainly have not.
Unless he's the midget looking fellow?
I don't meet many Zambian Tribal Chiefs.
I suspect the 50/50 chance that the rest of the tribe may have chopped your head off was a factor in your bowing.
That's the lad, an odd midget looking wee f**ker and that's for sure.
This is him when he went to Slane to see Bob Dylan.

And people demand a republic. How can you have that representing your country?
