Clearly not. Unless of course the empty retail units being enquired about were to sell Royal Family merchandise. :hehe:

Hang on a minute here, you can't post something misleading and then snarkily moan with your butty when people point out it's not exactly the home run you suggested.

That article barely mentions the jubilee as the reason for booming sales, it says there's a busy schedule in Cardiff which is bringing thousands of people in. The events in question are Ed Sheeran (240,000 people), one of the biggest football matches in Welsh history and various other smaller gigs as well as whatever's going on for queenie. I think you're bright enough to know that if there's a massive amount of people in Cardiff over this period, percentage wise the jubilee is a very small part of the reason for that.

In fact the only mention of the jubilee in real terms is one shop saying they're selling a lot of bunting and facemasks, and a Professor from Cardiff Uni saying that although some sectors will get a boost, overall the previous jubilees created a net loss of output.

Sorry if you think that's being negative but it's like saying that Sunday is a fantastic day for the groundsman because 33000 people are there to admire the grass

Actually it's generally positive about stuff happening this weekend, based on what FOR Cardiff are saying based on conversations with businesses - it mentions the gigs last weekend as well.

Obviously, as with any bank holiday, other parts of the economy are shut down, as it's more like a sunday than a normal Thursday or Friday.

Nonetheless, it's plainly a positive article. :thumbup:

Royal Warranty revenues worth 4.5billion.pa

Can't image how many jobs are generated for many folk ?

All of above generate needed tax revenues .

Re: **** the Jubilee

Pubs and hotels are "absolutely booming" as events including the Platinum Jubilee weekend draw crowds, Cardiff's business group has said.
FOR Cardiff said "tens of thousands" of people were attending a busy schedule of events across the half term week.
Celebrations began with three nights of Ed Sheeran concerts in Cardiff, with a Wales match and Jubilee events to come.
Economist, Prof Max Munday from Cardiff University said the extra bank holiday was likely to cut productivity overall.
Half term began with Ed Sheeran performing to thousands of fans at the Principality Stadium, although the volume of visitors has caused traffic and travel issues.
Upcoming jubilee celebrations include a military music parade in Cardiff Bay on Thursday, followed by the lighting of a beacon in the evening.
Aled Jones and Bonnie Tyler will headline a concert at Cardiff Castle on Saturday night, while a Big Jubilee Picnic takes place at Bute Park on Sunday.
Football fans will also descend on the city on Sunday to watch Wales play either Scotland or Ukraine in the World Cup play-off following their game later.

its all pretty positive stuff in the 1st section of the article, crowds coming out for Ed ( who is most probably hated on here ) Jubilee events ( enough said about that ) and the Football ( which we should like on here, but depends on if people have had some happy juice )
these business's who have struggled for the last 2 years are now taking a few quid

you might have missed this bit from the article

which will bring in more people who might spend money

Of course, the roads will be busy, the car parks full and the pavements full of litter

Yeah, everyone on this thread who doesn't subscribe to the Monarchy or celebrating them are just miserable bastards who don't know how to have a good time, forget the detail, isn't that just a bit simplistic? It would be like me saying that those who do celebrate Queenies reign are a bit thick and don't really understand their History, but that would be wrong of me to say, and a bit simplistic :thumbup:
