Almost a Mexican
The late Elizabeth Taylor, who lived in Mexico for several years, must have ingrained some of the more endearing national habits:
Elizabeth Taylor had the last laugh on Thursday: she was buried a day after her death aged 79 — but exactly 15 minutes behind schedule, on her strict orders…
“The service was scheduled to begin at 2:00 pm, but at Miss Taylor’s request started late,” said a statement by her publicist released after the closed-door service had finished.
However, she was, after all British… that “exactly” isn’t exactly Mexican.
