Re: The Official Royal Wedding Thread

Recall the wedding of Di and Chas on the cider in Taunton seeing Javed Miandad score 200. No interest in that wedding or the one on Saturday.

Doubt it. The hoi-polloi love keeping the Windsor's in the style to which they are accustomed.

Yep it will never happen.

* this is the correct term for the central passageway in churches.
The aisles are down the sides.

What if the church/chapel only has a central walkway?

Re: The Official Royal Wedding Thread

I can remember going to Pugh's Garden Store by the Tynant five years ago when there was a Royal Wedding (presumably it was the bloke who's getting married tomorrow's brother?). I seem to remember it was around this time of year and that store is always pretty crowded in the spring - there was just me and one other customer there and the roads were deserted.

All I can think is that this board is wholly unrepresentative of the public at large, because you can't seem to avoid people talking about the wedding at the moment.

Incidentally, I wasn't being flippant earlier, I genuinely don't know the names of the couple getting married - I know the names of both of Diana's sons, but I never know which one is which.

Needless to say, I'll not be watching much telly and listening to much radio over this weekend!

Re: The Official Royal Wedding Thread

Most people who I hear talking about the wedding are talking about how they're not bothered about the wedding.

Re: The Official Royal Wedding Thread

As I cannot get excited about either the F A Cup final or even the World Cup then some wedding, that I am not invited too and between two people I have no interest in is way down the list. I hope that they have a lovely day and a wonderful marriage but maybe they may wish to contribute to the costs incurred as the rest of us struggling somewhat with austerity. Interestingly, our much stretched thin blue line can find the resources to police this but in the London Borough I was brought up in young kids are getting killed and the crime rate is through the roof , in part, due to a lack of police resources.

Excellent observation

It’s all about priorities. The police may argue it’s all about public safety

Your point about lack of resources in local policing is clearly less of a priority

If the Home Office decided to increase the Mets budget by 3.5 or 6.5 million depending on who’s figures you consider then it would be fair of all the other forces to claim a share And who’s to say that if additional money was given to the Met that it would be spent on the things we may think are important for example boots on the ground and not some new expensive toys

Re: The Official Royal Wedding Thread

We are all itching for tomorrow to finally dawn as this week's been interminable what with the fevered anticipation of the Royal wedding building by the day.

All of us will be parked on a settee with eyes fixed on a TV to enjoy the hours of uninterrupted coverage. I've invested in an incontinence pad to ensure not a second of the action is missed due to a call of nature.
