Will you stop moaning about the Royal Wedding bash? I may disagree about Britcliffe on most other matters, but it is surely right to spend a few bob on this occasion. After all, other town in England will be doing so; it will no doubt, induce a feel good factor - like the 'Chilean Miners Moment' - give a boost to the economy and on top of which we all get a day off work (for them that do work, that is).

Can you imagine the TV coverage, if on that fateful day, the rest of the country is celebrating with flags, bunting, street parties, trifle and general drunkenness?

Meanwhile, the TV cameras flash up to Accy to show a bunch of miserly sour-faced baseball-cappers walking up and down in the rain spitting gum and with heads down and with dodgy dogs crapping in the street like a scene from a Lowry painting?

I know that only afterwards, I would have to hide my face here in London in shame.
