Speaking for myself, and I think others may feel the same, is that I am not putting her up on any kind of pedestal. For me she was a very, very, very fortunate woman who was very, very, very lucky to be born into a life of privilege. It could have been any of us. She didn't have to graft her guts out to get to that position, didn't have to study for years, didn't have to hold down two jobs working 15/16/17 hour days 5/6/7 days a week. That simply doesn't sit right with me that we live in a country where someone simply comes from a certain womb straight into a life of privilege paid for by the rest of the country and given a title and status that we are then supposed to look up to. F**k that. Anyway I am off to get on with mowing my lawn, cleaning my drive and then giving mine and the missus car a wash. See you all on the other side of this OTT nonsense. To be fair mate, that's what I'll be doing today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mandy Lifeboats Posted September 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2022 2012- I watched the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics. I was not a fan of the Olympics. I had no real interest in the Olympics. I watched because it was an amazing moment in history. 2022 - I am watching the Queen's Funeral. I am not a fan of the Queen. I have no real interest in the Royal Family. I am watching because its an amazing moment in history. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ml1dch Posted September 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2022 I'm sure Huw Edwards just said that they were moving the Queen's coffin to the catapult. If true, I can't believe some people thought this wouldn't be worth watching. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I always say each to their own but I do feel it’s just a reflection of how insignificant people really are if they feel the need to travel to London and queue or stand for hours out of respect for the elite. I don’t get it myself but again each to their own. Whatever makes people happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for the fact that she seems totally unsuitable for the position and looks to be making some awful decisions, I'd actually find her extreme dorkiness and goofiness quite likeable.

Popular Post Mandy Lifeboats Posted September 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2022 Mike Tindall allowed to wear a chest full of medals but has never been in the armed forces or Police. Harry served in Afghanistan and can't wear his uniform. Another ridiculous moment in a sea of ridiculousness. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry and Andrew actually served during a conflict. No uniforms. Charles and Anne have never served during a conflict. Uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
