Re: Jubilee Overkill
You should have stocked up on books to see you over this period, Barry!Re: Jubilee Overkill
Breakfast news on BBC this morning was overkill. The commentators always run out of sensible things to say. There is only so much you can say in three hours, about the River Thames and the 1,000 boat flotilla.Re: Jubilee Overkill
I must agree Jan that the banal diatribe of reporters trying to find something else interesting to say is downright embarrassing, and it's a fact that the whole occasion has been hijacked by a media and marketing frenzy, which actually demeans the whole occasion. Is there really anything more disrespectful than sick bags and underwear with the Queens face or the Union Jack on it?....Re: Jubilee Overkill
I have put up some Bunting in the Garden and that is my effort for the Jubilee,there is a garden party in the village but I shall not be going.It remimded me of King George and Queen Elizabeth coming to Manchester when I was little to see the bombing, very exciting standing on the edge of the pavement waving a flag and being so close to the King and Queen. She has been a good Queen and deserves the fuss over the jubilee.Re: Jubilee Overkill
I do agree about the overkill. Bought to papers today, both the same full of pages and pages of the Queen. I like to see the photos of years gone by, and how things have changed. But it's ridiculous how much they have put in. Both paper have the same photo's, and articles.Re: Jubilee Overkill
Re: Jubilee Overkill
I have watched some coverage of the Thames flotilla and I must say I enjoyed the first half hour but that was enough. Though I saw the end with the London Philharmonic I do feel sorry for the Queen, she must be frozen poor dear. It is pouring with rain and breezy, bet she is looking forward to a cup of tea and a sit down, after all she is 85 and the Duke is 91.
