No one can be 'reasonable' about the costs, because as yet they're unknown. Though judging from the costs of other civic celebrations they're unlikely to be meagre.
The vast majority of people object on principle, to there being any costs involved at all, to be funded from the public purse, and therefore paid for by themselves.
We'll just have to agree to disagree.
You and Neil are happy paying for the royal wedding celebrations.
The rest of Hyndburn disagree, and are not so very keen. To say the least.
P.S. As a holiday idea, why not join the millions of fellow tourists and visit France's historic palaces and monuments?
Toy Town soldiers, in ever such cute uniforms.
A thousand rooms at Versailles to mooch around. Rather than a miserly ten at Buck House.
All this, and the only royal personage you're likely to see will probably be a ghost.
Bon voyage.
