Was it worth it?

[TWR]

This is one part of the cost, others to follow.


The culture department has estimated that the extra bank holiday could cost Britain's ailing economy £1.2bn.

Myself, I think H.M. deserves the acknowledgment from the UK + the Commonwealth for the work she does, It's the hanger ons that need to be sorted.


They say the Pageant stands to be 10Million + Was it worth it?

[ummmm]

Yes....

I loved it and I'm not even English.

[TWR]

I'll take a guess here Ummmm, Irish?

[tiggerblue10]

I think it was worth it and I thoroughly enjoyed what I saw of it.

[ummmm]

Yes :-)

[tiggerblue10]

I'm not English either :o)

[Georgiesmum]

Yes, definately. Worth every penny!

I may have asked you this before? Did you ever use the Bull at Regents Square, just below the Police / Fire Station? the faamily that ran the Pub was Irish, cannot rember his surname, but Christian was Danny.

I'm not a Royalist by any means but I do think this Jubilee has lifted a lot of peoples spirits, and you will find that although a lot of people have moaned about the celebrations most will all have read or watched some part of it.
I also think the Queen didn't choose to be born into this family but she has done her job to the best of her ability and deserves respect from her family which when you listen to Charles that's a lot of respect for a Mama, and she deserves respect from this country.

[ummmm]

How long ago was that?

I don't remember 'The Bull' but I often went in 'The bird in Hand'

[TWR]

I'll 2nd that Pizza.

[TWR]

[TWR]

About 25>>30 yrs ago Ummmm.

[ummmm]

Regents Square. Its' still there, as far as I know.

[ummmm]

Ahhhhh.....I'd be a bit too young to remember.

Did you go to any other pubs?

[TWR]

The Bird in Hand is closer to the Sepulchre church.

The Bull was demolished to enable the widening of the Barrack Road/Grafton Street crossroads.

As was pointed out earlier. 2012 is a Leap Year so the workers will have worked the same number of days at year's end.
