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
