    I did the sensible thing and stayed in bed until the main part was done, then I went and did some carpentry in my shed whilst listening to radio 6 who mercifully ignored the day's happenings as resolutely as I did... :-)

    It would appear that we have argued to the point of agreeing that everyone is flawed...... if only we all funded ourselves I'd be happy!! Wear whatever robes you like as long as the rest of us workers can eat without visiting a food bank! Long live those that can afford it!!!

    Neutral.
    I don't wish any of the the royals ill .... and the monarchy we have it probably better than an elected head of state.
    But by the middle of last week I was heartily sick of the wall to wall coverage on both the BBC news and on Sky news. So I switched over to the news on Al Jazeera and watched an in depth story about the extreme hardship many people in Afghanistan are facing. It felt like a very stark juxtaposition with the coronation news stories of opulence and privilege.

    I didn't watch any of the coverage .... I was watching the football.

    Excited. Can't wait
    Nearly 9 million people in France watched the Coronation on French TV.
    6.77 million in Germany.

    the only kings I have enjoyed watching  are Richard Burton, Elvis  and
    Yul Brynner.
