Talk:Loyal toast

Untitled

 * 'Great Britain' is used here, as I do not know if any Northern Irish use the toast. Skull &#39;n&#39; Femurs 11:36, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * It is used in Northern Ireland, and is more commonly used than in Lancashire or the Channel Islands, although, obviously, only amongst the Loyalist community. Bastin8 13:38, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Cornwall
Is the Loyal Toast used in Cornwall? And what form does it take? "The Duke of Cornwall"? "The Queen"? Both or either? Just something I'm wondering // D  B  D  23:23, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Black Watch of Canada
I removed this line:


 * The Black Watch of Canada takes a different approach, reciting the toast standing on their chairs with one leg on the table.

because it sounds ridiculous (and Google isn't showing me any Canadian sites which tell me it's true), but if it's true and someone can source it, go ahead and put it right back. Marnanel 20:48, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Someone had put it back, with a citation. The site that was cited had extremely similar text to the version of the page present at the time, so someone very likely copied the other. Since it is possible that we were hosting a WP:COPYVIO. or alternatively, that we were self-referencing, I deleted it. TheFeds  09:50, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

Royal Navy
The Royal Naval Museum's page on the subject says that the story about William IV is only one of several myths about officers being permitted to sit for the Loyal Toast, and offers instead the practical considerations that every third man would have been prevented from standing (by roof beams) and that those sitting on one side of the table would have been prevented from standing 'with any degree of dignity'. The link is http://www.royalnavalmuseum.org/info_sheet_loyal_toast.htm, I just don't have the time to rewrite the section myself just now. Cynical (talk) 21:56, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Spanish toast
Updated the reference to direct to Felipe VI following the abdication of Juan Carlos. -- 04:02, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
