The Queen ordered Diana to be killed as the royal family would never have a Muslim brother for her grandchildren.
ok i know this may be bumpkin, but think about if it was true, you have to remember the queen is the head of the state as well as the church. A muslim in the family would be a big problem.It was only in the 2013 act, that a person could marry a catholic and ascend to the throne.

Diana died in a car crash. That's a very unreliable way of killing someone. If she'd decided to put her seat belt on, she'd be alive today. She'd spent the previous 2 weeks on a boat cruising the Med. A boat explosion is a surefire way to kill someone. Very easy to arrange, surprisingly common, it is after all a floating fuel tank with electrics surrounding it, far easier than a car crash to execute, and even if they survive the explosion, they are in the water in the middle of nowhere with no press or emergency services.
If it was a professional hit, they picked the wrong option.

Hardly ... since it worked (assuming it was a hit)The only way to be sure to kill someone in a car crash is to run them off a mountain road, not push them into a pillar in an underpass. The theory is utterly ludicrous.

And any other "all *item* is made by *whoever makes the best version of that item*" claims. These cheap 16-for-a-pound AA batteries are all made by Duracell anyway. It's just coincidence that they only last a month in my wall clock when the Duracell-badged ones give about two years.droopsnoot said:

That has a logic to it.. Sony and Philips developed the standard and had substantial patent royalties for many years... not true that they made them all, but you can see the logic, sort of...The Spruce goose said:

Although obviously not true, they did actually develop "K" glass which when energy efficient glass became compulsory meant that they were very dominant for a period of time - presumably until others (Saint-Gobain etc.) caught up with their own product. Pilkingtons lobbied in Parliament for some time for energy efficient glass to become a requirement.I used to deal with Pilkington some years ago so know all about this stuff!

You'll be seen quicker in A&E if you arrive by ambulance.
Often true. You generally don't arrive by ambulance for something trivial so you'll be likely to move up the triage list ahead of the ingrowing toenaisl, tummyaches and pans stuck on little boys' heads, won't you?Arrival at hospital by ambo is often simply a by product of the ambulance service acknowledging you have a condition that could eventually kill you and thus not wanting to leave you at home, even though said condition may be at the trivial stage. It's often more of a liability thing than a clinical thing.
Course there are those who get blued in and go straight to resus for life threatening issues.
