Seen that sort of thing before in America on the motorway, I'm sure they do it for soldiers, it's at the end of American sniper for example That would actually be interesting to see in a morbid way but I'm sure they wouldn't want the chaos of closing the motorway to let the procession through I take it they won't have her lie in state and let the public see her dead body or any of that nonsense again like a few yanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Someone on the telly earlier said its amazing that she's a woman in that position.

I guess that's what happens when they interview members of the public I had to explain that to my German wife earlier, that she was only queen because the last king had 2 daughters, I also told her that realistically even my kids won't ever see another queen in their lifetime despite them changing the rules, she thought it went to camilla when Charles died, she really doesn't care about any of this Not actually sure what the percentage split is between Kings and Queens but do think it's the Queens who seem to have more legacy without being a royalist who cares about that kind of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My missus was a big Corrie fan at the time (she's kicked the habit now, thankfully), and despite waters broken and increasingly frequent contractions, she refused to leave for the hospital until the end of the episode (which was a double-length one hour special). I got her into the car at 8.30pm, teararsed to the hospital, baby was born at 8.50pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted September 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2022 1 hour ago, Xela said: I sort of agree, but social media behaviour is often looked at by employers now. We've had people sacked at our place for saying stuff on Twitter and FB, even when it isn't obvious who they work for or they haven't got any mention of their job on their profile. off topic but that seems harsh to me...i work for a big company (and i'll have to double check the social media policy on this) but i think you have pretty much carte blanche on social media as long as you cannot be traced back to the company in any way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
