The Easiest Job

Hello!

On Wednesday my class went to Parliament and Westminster Abbey.

While at Parliament, it was told that the representatives who do not swear an oath the the Queen cannot sit in and take part in debates or vote.  So I asked, "What do these people do, if they can't debate and vote?"  The tour guide answered with, "We don't know."

What?!  What do you mean you don't know?  What do they do?  Seems like the easiest job, if you ask me. OK, maybe they don't partake in pressing issues, so I assume they take care of petty issues for their community?

Then we went to Westminster Abbey.  I never knew how much history is associated with the church (I can say this for any building here, actually).  About 3,000 monarchs and influential people are buried there.  In the first televised coronation, the Queen was crowned there.  And, obviously, this past April Kate married Will there!
