I spent silver jubilee day in Venice. Sadly I find long distance travel too exhausting now, but if I don't switch on the TV or radio I can avoid all that over priced pomp.
I agree,About that time I bought a window cleaning round in Venice.

Needless to say It played havoc with my arthritis.Water to deep,ladders to short,But I tried.

It's times like this that you feel proud to be British and on benefits

Well, so far, it isn't just myself who thinks the council have misjudged Hyndburn residents' interest in this wedding.

It seems we are either disinterested, apathetic, or in some cases angry, because local taxes are being spent on celebrating the occasion.

Still, it might be a laugh, watching Tealeaf, Neil, and Katex, getting down and funky, doing a three man conga along our streets.

Whoops.

Make that a four man conga.

Cmonstanley is risking the trip down from Scotland, and is feeling brave enough to join in the festivites, in the hope no knife weilding serial killers join the conga, presumably.

Still, it's nice to know how our neighbours north of the border think we should be spending our taxes in Hyndburn, celebrating the wedding of the heir to the English throne.

C'mon's enthusiasm for the Royal Family doubtless stems from him being a loyalist Rangers supporter. They're big on that sort of thing.

True.

He probably also joins other subservient loyal subjects, and pops up to Balmoral in his spare time, to work as a beater at Royal shoots.

Teabag just gets off on bowing and scraping, and prostrating himself in front of his 'betters', and is willing to pay well for the privilege.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.

My wedding anniversary is on the same day as the Royal wedding and I am planning to take a cruise from Bonn to Saltzburg on the Rhine, there are no TV's on board (or there wasn't last time) so I am pleased to say I won't be watching it.

When Charlie married Di i was making a fool of my self loosing my ball on a golf course in Wales, please note the ball was a golf ball, I am not physically deformed. All in all I am managing to avoid all the hullabaloo of the pomp and wasit of the Royals.
