Didn't the last Queen Catherine (Howard) get the chop ;) have there been any in-between ?

but make it choppy. It's way past your bedtime.

:D

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Well it wouldn't be so bad if it was Katherine at least that's probably the name her parents gave her;)

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

I voted no, but not for the obvious reasons, the fact is that this wedding is going to cost the country a fortune, and in no small way will damage the economy and many businesses/industries, aside from the 'bank holiday', many people (and probably most of them paid 'work or play') will take an extra 3 days of their statutory holidays before the wedding, coupled with the other bank holidays in the period means a lot of holidays in a short time, which in essence means they will have 11 consecutive paid days off work, this will hurt a lot of small businesses again!!

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

True, but this is about having a party, and sod trying to run a business.

Well unless you're the Queen. Who has decreed her staff will be working on the Bank Holiday on the 29th.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Thats not work G. I'm told its a pleasure working for her Mag:D

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Plus I'm told she's not that dependent from what they take in the gift shops.

Unlike many other businesses, who will struggle to cope with losing trade/productivity, and forking out for another days paid holiday.

;)

I voted NO it is going to take more than a Royal Wedding to lift the spirits of this country ( the state its in ) I also wonder how long the marriage will last ( or is that me being tooooooooo negative )

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

How much are they spending on the wedding? Ive heard that pubs are getting flags and stuff paid for by the council, just before the elections. If is a few 100 quid, fair shout. It more, surely that could be spent better@

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

This is the budget.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

£15 grand!!! What the f? Surely the money could be better spent? That's ourtragous, never thought it was so much. If people want street parties, great let them make there own sarnies. How does that budget break down. Please tell me my council tax isnt paying officers to arrange celebrations.

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

£15,000 pounds. You could keep public toilets open for 18 months on that !!

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

wonder how many street parties are being held ....

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Dave..................:p

Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.
 

Why isnt this reported in the local papers? I guess this explains why I dont buy them, theres never anything interesting. BECAUSE THEY IGNORE IT. Does any of the cabinet action fund go to free lunches with journalists, I wonder.....

Hyndburn has a bad political culture. People who work for the council tell me GJones was rude (almost bullying))), so even tho I support labour, I worry about him.

Allegedly.
