I suspect that in the current financial climate they will arrange the wedding on a day that is already a public holiday or at the weekend so that they can ease the pressure on businesses - and we will get no day off!!!!

[annie0000]

My bet would be May day (1st Monday in May?) or Easter

[stewey]

Perhaps April 1st?

Don't be so negative annie. I expect some poor devils are looking forward to another day off the daily grind just as long as they get paid for it of course. Not me, I am on a permanent holiday. How about commorative mugs filled with chocolates for the children in school. Free of course, paid for by the Queen. I well remember getting one for Edward VIII even though he was never crowned. Lovely - it would make the children remember it in future years. Incidentally, I ate the chocolates rapidly so I wouldn't have to share them with anyone (my brother), don't know what hapened to the mug. I expect it would be worth something now on eBay.

[starone]

Sorry, I spelt commemorative wrong. Have I done it right this time?

[annie0000]

starbuck - there will be no chocolates - too many obese children with bad teeth ;o)

[starone]

Oh yes, I got carried away there didn't I? Not so deprived as I was then - brought up in the 1930's and chocolates a miracle as far as I was concerned.

[annie0000]

I was brought up in the 70's and chocolate was still a treat then. I dont think we got anything for Charles & Diana's but I was in High School then, seem to recall getting something for the Silver Jubilee (a coin maybe?)

[funnygirl]

As the royal couple are getting married early next year, I bet they scrap May day bank holiday or whitsun to make up for this.

[starone]

What? No May Queen and dancing round the Maypole? No, no, no, you can't do that. Think of something else please.

[whiskeryron]

stoke, you obviously missed the news item that says that as the millionaires drive past they will be throwing out £5 notes like confetti.

[lankeela]

I have heard 13th August mooted, so it would be a weekend anyway.
