Did anyone

[caslass]

Did anyone watch the Royal Wedding on BBC2 at 9pm. I only watched it because nothing else was on. What a load of cr@p. BBC I want my money back.

[craft1948]

I watched it for about 10 minutes and turned the TV off......

Tried the Boy George thing last night and switched off after 5 minutes - and this was in the same 'Return To The 80's' series

[caslass]

I wish I had. I stuck with it as nothing else to watch. I should have watched the paint drying, It would have been more entertaining.

Other than for quizzing purposes, I have no interest in the monarchy whatsoever...

[Bobbisox]

me neither Mark..

[caslass]

It wasn't about the monarchy Mark. It was about a welsh village losing their main employer. The wedding was just happening at the same time. I am with you about royalty. I know my royal history but only for quizzing purposes.

[MarkRae]

Me too, Tony, but nothing would give me greater pleasure than to be asked in a quiz "On what date was the British monarchy abolished?"

[craft1948]

I quite like the Queen, not sure about the thought of King Charles though.

[Bobbisox]

ha-ha I am not that deep about it Mark, worse things happen at sea

[askyourgran]

I agree craft. Prince Charles should take off with Gorilla Parkyer Bowlegs and leave the throne to Prince William.

[caslass]

But why do we need a monarchy at all. It is all ceremony. do we need it. No. Do the majority want it No. Have you seen the grounds and gardens that Buck house takes up in central London. It's not worth millions, it's worth Billions.

[craft1948]

What makes you say the majority don't want it cas...........do you have some stats showing this?

[MarkRae]

What always makes me laugh is the stupid argument about tourism. The most popular tourist destination in Europe is Versailles...

[caslass]

No craft I don't have stats. just talking to people at work, at home and on holiday.

[craft1948]

Obviously we're all entitled to our own opinion, and as far as I'm aware there haven't been any polls published regarding the monarchy for quite some time. The last one I saw showed more than 60% in favour of a monarchy and about 15% not bothered either way.

[caslass]

Craft you could be my mum, she loved the royals. I did not follow in her footsteps. But hey we are all different. Off to bed now night night.
