Normally a lurker, sorry to butt in guys! Adding 'gate' to something refers back to when President Nixon was forced to resign after some incriminating evidence or something was found/happened at the Watergate hotel in Washington. Can't remember the exact details, it was back in the mid-70s. Now everyone tends to add gate to something scandalous like Camilla-gate when Charles was recorded talking dirty on the phone to her. Hope you enjoyed my wee history lesson, love you all to the moon and back xxx
