Once, Major Sir Michael Parker, an impresario for royal events with an expertise in pyrotechnics, held an exhibition where the Queen was to be the guest of honour.
When his entire collection of munitions suddenly exploded as the show began, he was totally devastated. He sadly rushed over and said to the Queen, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong."
"Oh good, what fun!" she replied with a smile.
On hearing this, he put his best foot forward and went on to put on what he claimed as a ‘damned good show, by jove!’
When asked later, why he continued doing what he did that day, he replied, "The leader's Attitude is like a thermostat for the place she works. If her attitude is good, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the environment is easy to work in. But if her attitude is bad, the temperature is insufferable."
