The out of towners only came to see HRH not to spend in our shops as our Councillors would like us to believe.

Ya might have been a pull for the crowds put a waste of time for shopkeepers

Sorry pedant's hat on here. I do wish people would not refer to the Queen as HRH - she is HM or Her Majesty. His or Her Royal Highness is only used for princes and princesses.

Went shopping in Aldi this afternoon, the car park was full to bursting, people driving around waiting for a space to become available.

I thought shopping will be difficult, how wrong I was, just me, the misses, and the staff in the store. Shortly after a couple more entered the store, I didn't feel so lonely then.

As we were leaving the store the royal car arrived at the roundabout with all the outriders, and I got to see the back of Her Majesties hat.

Even one of the fast food establishments in close proximity had a quieter day than he normally would.

I like the Royal Family but I did call the queen some nasty names when I was trying unsuccessfully to get home from work because of the enormous backlog of traffic she caused, I suppose because of security and blocked off roads - I wonder if she has any idea of the chaos she leaves in her wake wherever she goes?
