Royal Wedding - Something to be Cheerful About?

[Piscoe]

Yes, really looking forward to all the lovely pomp and ceremony. Makes you proud to be a brit.

For my sins I've got some Welsh and Scottish friends out here,and I'me afraid they would'nt agree with your " proud to be British" comment.
I think everybody's feeling about the latest royal circus act is determined to a point by their geographical location.
I mean,lets be fair,its only you soft buggers down the South who go ga ga over the royals,Northeners I suspect see them for what they are.

Yes from me - well maybe!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its a NOOOO from him though

Couldn't give a t_ss personally.
And why choose the end of April? I've got people queueing up at work to book the 3 days off between Easter & this bank hol as it gets them 11 days off.

Geordieboy the question is about the royal wedding. Nobody else has said anything about people from North or South. Whats that got to do with anything. I think it is very sad that you have this chip on your shoulder. I am from the south and have some wonderfull friends from up north. This north/south thing is only problem if you want it to be. Which you obviously do. But thats your problem.
But back on topic i wish them both a full and happy life. [^]

Well I'm very much from the south and I couldn't give a monkey's about the royal family! I am happy for them though as two young people who have found someone they would like to spend the rest of their lives with. My point isn't that I can't be happy for them, it is that I am not uplifted by the news, not going to celebrate or even that interested. It would take a very mean spirited person to not wish them well.

I'm a Northerner Geordieboy and you don't speak for me and I suspect many others in the north.  

[Scunner]

...and the south!

Why couldn't they have their wedding on an existing bank holiday. Read an article today from a small business owner who claims the extra bank holiday could damage his business by paying wages for an extra day of zero productivity [!] Anyway every day's a bank hol for me so I'll take the money instead :D
