Eugenie’ wedding

We've known all that for years AnnieBach. Nothing new.

Annsixty, I'm so sorry to hear about your difficulties. It's quite wrong to be removing money/funding from people in your position. This will have a huge impact on your life, isn't there any way for you to appeal this decision?

I agree with you Annie, I shall 'look in' at the wedding tomorrow, I like to see what everyone's wearing. However, I do think that Andrew and his ex wife are responsible for the somewhat inflated arrangements, although Eugenie must have agreed to them. All brides deserve a happy day, but a big, almost state wedding, doesn't necessarily equate to happiness.

annsixty there was a report on the lunch-time news about the CQC and their findings about inequalities in the system depending on where you live - some areas seem to be fairly well-provided for but in others provision is extremely patchy.
I do hope there is someone who can take up your cause and get you both the care you deserve.

What a lot of grumpy grannies!! A young couple are getting married. Surely good news. If you're interested, watch. If you're not don't
Cakebaker; Well said! Why does anybody with chips on their shoulders have to parade their prejudices instead of finding something else to do and not spoil other people's enjoyment?
It happened back with the World Cup; "I don't like soccer and I'll make sure you all know!" What motivates them?
Btw; I've started another thread to cater for those in favour.

Here hete

Cakebaker you do realise that Scotland has been subsidising the rest of the DISunited kingdom for decades ..or more .WE pay taxes too and we hand over far more than we get inreturn.Please get some FACTS .

Thank you Rufus and Jill.
Paddyann - I don't think this is the place for this discussion and your capitals seem a bit shouty.
But I do think you should do some research.........

I've read that it's Prince Andrew behind all the palaver. That man has a chip on his shoulder about his and his daughters Royal position. He wanted it televised and carriage procession just like other royal weddings. Trouble is, his daughters are only minor royals and carry out no public duties.
Having said all that I shall still watch, just to see the outfits etc. ?

Isn't George being taken out of school to be at the wedding? I think it is disgusting the amor t of money being spent.

Who would send a child to school whilst the rest of the family attended the wedding

I really had no idea Eugenie gets married this weekend. I hope they have a lovely day but I shan't be following the story.

I shall just watch briefly only interested in the fashion side of things and how certain members of the RF deal with each other.

My DDiL has just returned from a huge family wedding Annie but my son and the children couldn’t go as the school (The LA) would have fined them heavily . Obviously George and his cousins won’t have that problem.

Eugenie who ? Should have her wedding paid for by her freeloading parents, not us.

Have no time for the 'Royals' so probably won't watch it anyway. To me they are just ordinary people same as everyone else. Some seem nice others really horrible much like all of us. Cannot understand why we pay tax to keep these people and bow and curtsy to them. Money better spent on many things e.g. schools hospitals police poor families etc etc.

Apparently at Harry and Megan’s nuptials guests were advised to wear ‘ sanitary protection ‘ as they would not be able to visit the lavatory for hours. Perhaps guests at this ‘ bash’ should do the same in case they have an accident by laughing so much at this silly woman’s pretentious ??

Oops, pretentions.

Rufus2, if I remember rightly you don’t live in the UK , so you my not object to it as much as those whose taxes are going towards paying for it !

Lots of bitterness and mean-spiritedness as usual on royal threads. I don’t begrudge the tiny bit I may be paying towards it. There are many worse things. If I manage to watch I shall enjoy seeing it all. I do hope it doesn't rain on them.

I have a bottle of wine in the fridge ready, feta pastry parcels as a small starter then salmon salad and finally chocolate roulade with raspberries. I always take the opportunity to celebrate a wedding, or opening festival of anything that takes my fancy. DH May pop in to watch a tiny bit of it and will definitely join me for lunch.

I will sit criticising the outfits talking to myself probably. I am thoroughly looking fwd to it.

NanKate I will be coming round to yours!

I missed the last one (alternative engagement) and I shall probably miss this one (alternative arrangement - I have a school visit scheduled )

Ed Sheran! Elton John , Prince Phillip. Not going to the wedding

Camilla not going to the wedding because she is attending a
School Havest Festival

You would be very welcome Jalima. Perhaps you could video it and watch it with a glass of something fizzy. ?

I would class myself as a republican though I do not wish individual royals any harm. You won't find me knitting by a guillotine!
I have little time for any over- privileged folk who do not appear to give back to society in any way. It would appear Eugenie & her sister move in these circles.
No doubt I will see something of the wedding on the news but not planning to watch it specifically.

I could spend the day swigging from a bottle of champagne - if anyone at school questions me, I'll just say I'm celebrating the wedding.
