NurembergVillan Posted September 14, 2022 Moderator Share Posted September 14, 2022 This ongoing Twitter thread, which is generally about the UK rather than just the recent bereavement, is absolutely wonderful satire/entirely truthful - 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 My hunch is that the Royal Family will now (if not already) be added into the 'Culture Wars' slurry with increasing strident pro and anti comments being churned up on social media for years to come. Oh joy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted September 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2022 Quote The company later retracted this decision, after widespread ridicule and derision by the UK media and customer complaints. It later clarified that guests may remain on site, but that they would be prevented from leaving their accommodation on the day of the funeral. This will be 'policed', it has been suggested on the internet, by 'gammons', operating in a style similar to Iranian Revolutionary Guards. It has been noted that Center Parcs is essentially a foreign firm and these actions could be a rearguard action to increase republicanism in the UK amongst the upper middle classes, who make up the Parcs customer base.

delboy54 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 The length of queue is almost as long as the queue of Villa fans watching the Villa kit dry on Monday wash day (Paraphrase from Tommy Docherty......) VTID 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s getting quite chilly as well, good job we have a hip flask and some blankets. Estimate we are about halfway down about 1.5 miles. Seems a long day since we left yesterday One of those once-in-a-lifetime events (apart from when we went down to watch Diana’s funeral) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
