Whose death (apart from Di, obviously) would cause such an outpouring of grief around the world that it would be possible to shift hangarloads of vaguely related merchandise in minutes?
The Queen Mum, Godblessur. She's 99 you know, and survived the blitz. Imagine what would happen if she died during the World Cup. Second half of the final, Scotland v England (I know, I know, but let me have a little dream), five minutes to the end, scores equal, Scotland get awarded a penaly kick and... Buckingham Palace have announce the death of HRH Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. It's going to happen, believe me. Rod.
