Anyone Else Suffering From Wedding Overload?

[Celtigra3]

I tuned into BBC this morning for news and the presenters were wetting themselves with excitement. Sky and ITV the same. The whole thing is a farce.

A large proportion of Americans dont have passports and don't often travel outside their Country.

Flights to the UK are up 12% though for this period.

I believe the coverage over there is wall to wall too.

Sitting on a pavement on Windsor high street for 3 days, either get a job or some voluntary work .

I'll be watching it tomorrow but I'm fed up with all the non stories and dramas that aren't really dramas. There is always news saturation of events like this which I'm sure put people off.

This fan took your advice Anne ;-)

I'll probably cut the grass tomorrow morning, might have a look at the highlight later, a bit like the grand prix really!

//One thing that does annoy the hell out of me is the fawning obsequious tone adopted by BBC Royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell. //

Aah - Nicholas Witchell - i mentioned him on another thread

I've got a soft spot for him - a bog in the west of ireland

Totally with you on this .....sad as much yesterday on here....just realised that this is the only thing happening in the world at the moment..3/4 of an hour lunchtime news on absolute rubbish about that wedding....I don't care a jot....they are people I don't know and will never know so why should I care? Harry is never going to be king so he really is not important in terms of this countries future history...Grrrrrr

Islay,is Tora really ymb?,often wondered myself.

[Mamyalynne]

Well, I earlier said I wasn't suffering but am now thinking of turning AB off to get a break ;-)

No difference here in U.S. News overload with some presenters dressed up to the nines. One channel is making a big thing of Meghan's age, 37, wondering if she will have kids, the natural way.

Only important thing going on tomorrow is the f.a cup final and beer!

[ethandron]

Can't get enough of it myself, I love all the hooha around this sort of thing as it doesn't happen very often.

[hereIam]

Not a farce in my eyes, loving it all !

[Georgiesmum]

I love it., cant wait to see her dress and the page boy and bridesmaids

[Celtigra3]

I suppose each to his/her own. But I bet the BBC won't give those who don't want to watch a refund on their licence fee! Time it was no longer subsidised by the taxpayer and made to pay its own way

[bainbrig]

Tora, youngmaf, naiomi, etc - one and the same person.

How dare they insult the royal riff-raff - I was first in the queue.

[Mamyalynne]

Not everyone is happy re the TV Licence fee dispensation, it doesn't bother me too much.

I'm hoping the Scottish F.A.Cup final is being shown on the BBC sports app, 3 o'clock kick off, then straight on to Chelsea v Man Utd. Gardening in the morning, hopefully avoid the Royal shenanigans!

you have a point, tambo.

As does Bazile.
