The Prince Charles bridge, what is it with this Welsh cult?
Almost as bad as Harry Hewitt and Megan Markle being given the title Duke and Duchess of Conaught. :facepalm:
Still, you Irish turned out in droves when Betty Battenburgh came over to visit you. I bet you wish you hadn't got rid of her. :hehe:
What's the Prince Charles Bridge?
Interesting statement by Alan Cairns when confronted with a petition signed by 25000+ citizens protesting against a lack of consultation he said that he listened to the desires of the silent majority
Ironic that the conservatives didn’t adopt this approach over Brexit
Cairns will still ignore it no matter how many sign up
He’s gone too far for a u turn now
Charles is delighted and honored to accept
Bristol is changing its name to Camilla City to celebrate the bridge’s easy access
Just saying
There were thousands turned up in Cork as well to see her. The Irish are welcoming to visitors it seems 😃
Personally I thought this thread was going to be about that tv series set on that bridge between Sweden and Denmark.
Should name that radioactive mud that's due to be dumped in the area after him
Who cares really?
They would have been better off selling the naming rights to some multinational corporation.
The MPN windows doors and conservatories Bridge sounds better.
The royal family are an expensive anachronism that should have no place in a modern democracy.
Even worse for Wales, the royals have decided to bestow the title of the ruler of Wales to the eldest son of the monarch, despite them doing literally nothing for Wales or barely spending any time there, and they then ditch that title when they inherit the title of king of England, like it's a summer job they did before starting their proper career.
We should take back the title of the prince of Wales, and give it to a democratically elected head of state or leader of the assembly even.
To call the Severn bridge after that idiot will just be a continual reminder of the desregard for Wales by the English royals abd the wider English establishment.
Least interesting post of the day:
Did you know that the gender of nouns in other languages influence the adjectives assigned to them?
The word “bridge” is feminine in German and masculine in Spanish. Sure enough, German speakers described bridges as beautiful, elegant, fragile, pretty, and slender, while Spanish speakers said they were big, dangerous, strong, sturdy, and towering.
Still awake?
I’ve re read the initial message and can only conclude it’s a poor attempt at a wind up insinuating Wales is indoctrinated with a cultish obsession with the Royal family.
Any half arsed search could show there’s been a lot of opposition to it.
Still, must be a boring day in louth.
Not many really care what its called, you will find the nationalist few will be making alot of the noise , Oh oh he isnt Welsh, what has he done for us etc etc etc
Sell the name and use the money to scrap the toll now :thumbup: then the next time it is up, use the money for a good cause
I opened this post as i thought it was a discussion on the brilliant drama https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b03bnc34
My understanding was it is to be Called the Prince of Wales bridge, so there is no direct reference to Charles.
there have been many Princes of wales, he is but one of them.
