Re: Duke of Edinburgh dies

I had to laugh at one thing said on radio on Friday.

It was a news bulletin and the reader said. "The Duke of Edinburgh is dead. We will send you updates as they come in.

He's dead ffs, how can you update "Dead"??

Re: Duke of Edinburgh dies

I just can't believe a 99 year old bloke has died

The NHS is on its knees and needs to take a long hard look at itself

Ashamed to be British

Seven and a half hours of tributes to Philip Windsor in Parliament today. Similar sessions in the devolved assemblies/parliaments.

Lords to be paid £162 'attendance allowance' for making video call tributes for the Duke of Edinburgh.

Good job there's nothing else for our elected representatives to be dealing with! Or just maybe (as my other half said yesterday) this all smacks of a cynical exercise in burying (ha!) bad news.

Ashamed to be British too.

300,000 per year in the UK at the moment apparently. Over 7 million have done at least one of the awards since its inception apparently.

Not a bad achievement

The piece in your link refers to a channel 4 series "Meet the natives" from 2007 which I remember watching.
They idolised Prince Philip and at first I thought it was a wind up.
It was quite surreal.
