Royal baby's name.

Ha, I'll be having the last laugh when I collect that £330 on the birth of our dear Princess Tillie/Mattie. It'll be a major boost to swagmen, Dahl fans and dreadful liars everywhere.

I wonder if Paddy Power do refunds?

What do you know that we don't Maggiemaybe?

Are you Maybe Carole?

I'm not, rosequartz. However, when I placed my bet, clearance had to be sought from Head Office. It took 15 minutes and I'd started to think they thought I was betting £5000, not £5. Perhaps they took me for one of the Royals' magic circle - it wouldn't be the glamorous Carole though!

Fifteen minutes???

I'd have been long gone - off to another bookies!

I guess that's because of the betting coup [lots of large men with broken noses and cauliflower ears going into bookies all over the country] when peopleintheknow had bets on Zaras baby being called Mia.....

Charlotte for a girl and Arthur for a boy,I've got to put a bet on Charlotte for goodness sake as its my namesake and could be the first time my name was up in lights.

How about Mary or Henry?
Pretty certain it won't be Chardonnay, Merlot or Chablis as overheard in supermarket as a harassed mother yelled at her children running amok - Chablis pronounce Charbliss....... [groansindespair]

Oh, Loopy please say you made the last one up!

I did once hear a "Get here NOW, Tequila"!

Prince Harry's real name is Henry, so I don't think they'll go for that.

Sadly no Riverwalk, DS was with me, his face was a picture!
There's a young child up the road called Chartreuse.....it beggars belief! Her mother said they liked the name and call her 'Trurse' for short [somepeopleneedtheirheadsexamined]

Do you remember that hilarious Australian sicom, Kath and Kim? In one episode, the pregnant Kim was in the hospital, thinking about good names for the baby - one she came up with was 'enema'. Nice, eh?

Having said this I have a great niece called Emera and I have no idea where that came from.

Hey! I think Princess Merlot has a nice ring to it....or is that tinnitus after one too many?

I'm absolutely certain it won't be Hilda!

When is the royal baby due, I have no idea?

About the end of April as my next GC is. I bet Kate's mum will not be driving around with an overnight bag in the car to dash 50 miles to look after GC1 when Kate goes into labour.

Primrose Day (19th April?)

Princess Primrose
or Princess April (Avril)

I think Carole has already moved in Nelliemoser
(not to your DC's house I hasten to add)

Primrose Day....? never heard of that.

Primrose day: 19th April commemorates the death of Benjamin Disraeli on that day in 1881. I am not a mine of information, I was intrigued as I had forgotten about Primrose Day, so I googled it. What did we do without google?

It was my MIL's birthday, she was almost called Primrose but her DP changed their minds.
It would have not suited her at all!

Ooooh! I use Annie Sloan paint for upcycling furniture. I'm in with the 'in crowd'

When looking at the odds when doing my Irish Lottery this pm Alice was 6/2 and Alexander 33/1 I didn't have time to check the others but I don't think Alexander would rub up well with the massive interest in the Meercats adverts ?

Meercat adverts? I must be missing something.

DD2 was going to be Alexander.
But she was a girl!

This might explain it, rosequartz!
