VE Day

Re: VE Day

I shall line the walls of the beach bar with Bacofoil, sit in there with a multitude of canned comestibles and a crate or two of jus de grape and watch documentaries about the French Revolution until the coast clears - and hoping to miss Nicholas Witchell fawning obsequiously to Chuck when I re-surface.

Wroclaw for me. Should do the trick.

Re: VE Day

Maybe I’m just a cynic but I always get the impression the types to go out and spend a bunch on tea, cakes, scones, booze, bunting, etc would be some of the least likely to drop a few quid in a collection bucket or buy some food for a homeless veteran (or any homeless person for that matter).

what a strange post, but thats just the miserable cynic in you imho

as I started the post about my " afternoon tea " I might aswell be drawn into this reply

we spent a few quid on our " party " and will do the same for the Jubilee ( even got some bunting to put up on the village green ) but just to not live upto your " impression " I help out at a food bank and before easter purchased ( from B&M as they were the cheapest ) 200 Easter eggs ( the quid sized ones, nothing too over the top ) so the week before easter anyone going to the food bank could have a Easter egg, you know it might brighten some poor sods day

Re: VE Day

We should all be grateful to the sacrifices that men and women have made for us

More people will be pouncing around for the Queen than collecting money to help injured soldiers or build a new hospital

It's all union jack bollocks

Battenberg cake has it's origins in royal history, German as well. What a head **** for the 'celebrations' that could be.

Not really, Deutschland Uber Alles could well be the back up anthem given the heritage of the royal family.

Re: VE Day

so no-one on here had a afternoon tea then

most on here used to day to rekindle their hatred of Maggie, The queen and the union flag, well, hope you enjoyed the day however you spent it

They love an old Maggie , Union Jack , Afternoon Tea ,and a well buttered Scone rant , you certainly know how to push some folks buttons .

Don't get too smug. I flew over to Austria on the morning of Lady Di's fatal accident - and it was wall to wall on Austrian TV too.

I just like battenburg

though speaking to my wife, its hard to make " white sponge " , so its going to be white ( well natural colour ) marzipan with red and blue cake
