Welcome home.

My best friend and her husband arrive in Accy on Friday, travelling from Milan.

I've told her I've arranged a few strings of bunting for her.

Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.

Anyway, I think it's really quite sweet.

When a grown man, especially in some official capacity, will publicly admit to going a bit weak at the knees, every time they're in the presence of some old queen.

We don't normally open Wednesday so anything we took would have been up on normal. As it is we took the same as a normal Wednesday :D

At least we had a nice round number of customers ;)

It's not suggestive.

:confused:

People go shopping in Accy, in their jim-jams, of their own free will.

:D

I was down town yesterday and saw some strange things, including a woman letting her little boy relieve himself in blockbusters doorway surrounded by many people in the crowd. She then walked off with him without a care for those left behind trying not to stand in the little yellow river.

Hated it when people turned up late and expected to barge to the front just 'so our kids can get a view'. Strictly speaking it should be the oldies at the front because they are less likely to see her again.

Yeah, the pushing and shoving spoilt it for me and the selfishness of a few idiots, spitting & swearing. Plus, she wasn't here for very long, 50 mins max. Plus, was it just me or was the 'march past' a bit lack lustre? A few members of the WI and St Johns Ambulance. Well done to the Gurkhas though.

Next time, if the Queen wants to see me she can come to my place.
