A US firm is launching a talking 12ins Princess Diana action doll. The tasteless tribute says 16 phrases in Diana's voice at the press of a button. They include: "I'd like to be a queen of people's hearts" and "I want to do good things".
The £18 doll is being marketed as a one-off "collectible" with just 10,000 being made.
Texas-based Time Capsule Toys say they are dedicated to "the highest quality" products. However, they failed to get Diana's title right, referring to her as the "Princess of Whales".

Damn, that's despicable. Diana was one of the prettiest women in the world....and that doll comes nowhere close to her real image.
How embarassing that it comes from a Texas company, my apologies to all our British friends.

Quoting Banco (Reply 6): Seat Belt and other accessories optional!
DOH!
I was just going to ask if that doll fits in the Barbie Corvette...morbid gallows humor. Sorry.

Quoting NoUFO (Reply 18): He thinks I always use quotation marks for that line, because Scotland is not England's north. In fact there's another, better reason for that. Wink
(Calm down, Kirkie, I have been to Scotland twice and liked it.)
Ah I got ya LOL!
As for the issue of "POPE" stating that Wales was a region of England.. I suggest he shouts that out in any town, village or city in Wales and see what the response is!
