Royal Wedding

[Sunstreaker]

I was planning on getting the lads round. It's a day off, might watch a bit, eat some cake. Make a jolly of it.

Regardless of what we think of the Royal Family - it is still;

1) A day off.
2) Someone getting married, which is a happy occassion... right?


I recently took some schoolkids (some from bottom sets - troublemaking, apathetic urchins) to the Opera. They moaned on the way there, said that it was going to be boring, they wouldn't understand... yaddayaddayadda... a lot of the teachers I told about the trip, were very 'Ugh? The Opera? In Italian? For four hours? What's the point of that?'

When we got there, these kids from Basildon were totally awestruck at just the spectacle of the whole thing.

The immensity and pageantry and oppulance.


Royal Weddings are still massive revenue spinners for tourism in this country. It's going to be awe-inspiring in it's magnitude. Much like the Nuremburg Rallyies... or Kim Jong Il's house parties.

There won't be another one for the future Monarch for at least 25 years.
