A woman outside the Palace has made two life-size dolls of Charles and Camilla
Two people who met at the wedding of Charles and Di get together at every royal occasion and dress up in hats with hundreds of royal family badges on them
The French had the right idea
I agree with you. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that you'll be glued to BBC News all weekend.Quote:

I have the opinion, Are they doing you any harm ? ? No, so leave them to wave the union flag and smile like goons, its not doing anyone any harm, so leave them to enjoy it
Personally, Im avoiding our Village party ( as the people who are organising it wanted 25 quid each for the BBQ ) so I'll be giving it a miss
The hypocrisy of Monday's volunteering/Community day is starting to grate.
We're supposed to spend Saturday watching £millions spent on the crowning of a monarch, then a couple of days later do some charity work for those who aren't so fortunate.
The irony isn't lost on me.
Yes they are doing harmQuote:

Lunchtime news on BBC Wales - main story was about Welsh people queuing to watch the coronation. How the hell that's the most important news story of the day is beyond me.
It's easy enough to ignore these days.
I rarely watch much of our propaganda, plenty of alternative stuff to watch.
I almost forgot about it until recently when the rota in work had the additional bank holiday which is great, thanks Charles.
Of course posters and adverts outside lots of businesses are unavoidable.
Let people get on with it it makes them happy. They probably look at people getting upset over the football as weird.
It's always the same with BBC Wales.Quote:

Ditto for ITV, but on the plus side, they won't have Weasel Witchel.
It's a huge historical event and I will watch a good chunk of it. But it is preposterous that it is on both BBC1 and BBC2Quote:

I'm not saying the coronation isn't a massive event in the UK. Of course it is. I would expect the coronation to be the main subject in the news, that's not a problem. But of all things about the coronation, the biggest news story is about those queuing up to get in? Really?Quote:

The worst of societies because they murdered the most and became the most feared...and now you're happy to spunk 100 million on them because of tourism .What a joke.
What it shows is that a sizeable percentage of the population value and cherish the country's history and traditions. The monarchy, whether you like them or not, is very much part of that.Quote:
