Thank you NYC!
Just want to say that the illuminating of the Empire State Building in purple and gold yesterday to mark the jubilee of Elizabeth II was appreciated on the other side of the Atlantic. Thank you!

So that explains it. Unfortunately purple and gold are also the colors of the Los Angeles Lakers. I thought NY was playing a cruel joke on NJ and Nets fans.

That is so funny! To be honest, I don't think anyone in Britain had a clue that purple and gold were the "official" jubilee colors until last weekend. Sorry, Nets fans.

Hi brit,
Thanks for enlightening us. A friend and I were looking at the ESB last night and came to the conclusion that the purple and gold must be team colors for a winner in the World Cup!

Thank you for your kind post, unlike your fellow countryfool, Mary. (See hate-filled posting from that miscreant ranting about how she'll never return to the US.) It's nice to know that there are decent people out there.

I was in New York this week too and missed the Empire State Bldg in purple and gold. Darn! As an LSU grad, that would be have something to see!!!
