Wow! Glad there ain't any near us: Hoards of screaming uncontrolled brats. No thanks!

The lack of traffic noise is quite welcome as we live on what is normally something of a rat run. Almost as quiet as that other day.

The buntings were out, we all had a couple of drinks (too many), people were running back to their houses getting more chilled Coronas, pitchers of Pimm's and the odd bottle of champagne. The few kids that were there did an ABBA impression, and we all had a great time.

It reminded me of Queen's day back in Holland (due tomorrow actually). A National day to celebrate your nation. I think we should have one annually here! :tu:

It's supposed to be April 23rd - St Georges Day, But we cannot celebrate it incase we cause offence in our own country.

Yeah, but that's for England. Surely it should be possible to have one for the UK? Just set one day in late spring aside for a massive street party. The next monarch could introduce one by just declaring one on an appropriate date...

Actually I don't want to have another holiday set up like this latest set up.Having another public holiday around the time of the very movable Easter public holidays is a waste of time and will completely make tatters of the Spring school term and then add in the inevitable May elections it messes school life up.

Lets annoy the French with Trafalgar day and have a lie in on a cold Autumn morning.

As mentioned William comes across very classy but he also comes across as less stuffy and with more humor (as shown by the 'just wed' car).

Absolutely. The system works precisely because it's not open to tinkering for perceived short-term benefit. Charles has to become king, otherwise the question of succession simply becomes a very grand and expensive version of Big Brother with the royals as the housemates.
