Queen Elizabeth II is a trained mechanic.
When she was 16, the Queen joined the British employment agency at the Labour Exchange and learned the basics of truck repair. Apparently, she can repair tires and repair engines. Is there anything the Queen can't do?!

We are getting there, Grant has been submitted. Fingers crossed we receive some grant money to help with our “Saving the Town Hall “ project. Private donations continue to come in and we are SO GRATEFUL for what we have received so far. I love reading all the notes that have been written along with their donations. The Town Hall has created so many memories for so many people.
