Talk:Grenadier Guardsman

Name
Yet another mislabeled page. Not to seem picky, but the character was never named on-screen, and apart from this being an unwieldy label, he is *not* a beefeater. I'm not English but I know enough to know that. My blurry screengrab of the character is in Syracuse, but he was not wearing a beefeater's uniform, but the kind worn by guards at Buckingham Palace (beefeaters are almost exclusive to the Tower of London). Research shows that this is the uniform of the Grenadier Guards. They are also one of the vive regiments ma,king up the [  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen's_Guard|Queen's Guard], according to Wikipedia. So we have some options: "Grenadier Guard" or "Grenadier Guardsman" (in Britian, "guard" when applied to military units is plural and "guardsman" is the singular) or "Queen's Guardsman" (since the character explicitly offers Kermit the compliments of "Her Majesty.") But the current title is completely unsourced and inaccurate. Andrew Leal (talk ) 01:46, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
