Quote from: Fambo Number Mive on May 29, 2022, 12:15:17 PMSo Maureen Lipman says we can only call for the abolition of the monarchy if we've tried being a monarch?

Yes. For context though we should bear in mind she is a 'crazed deranged old bat' who has gone 'mental'.

She was always described as 'versatile' which is odd as I only remember her doing slight variations on Maureen Lipman.

Maureen Lipman is Maureen Lipman in 'Maureen Lipman'.

Let's draw up a list of places to avoid then:

Greene King pubs
Marston's pubs
Wetherspoons pubs

All best avoided anyway, though one pub near me is a Marston's but it's a bit of a goth/rock pub and if the brewery sends them any bunting they'll probably just pop it in the bin.

What is that flag on the left? Is it for soldiers missing in action?

QuoteThe Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall will attend a lunch at The Oval cricket ground in south London.

Berkshire residents will also be joined by the Earl and Countess of Wessex for a lunch near Windsor Castle.

Wonder whether Andrew will be joining the public at any lunches. Probably not.

Yes. Korea/Vietnam era symbol I think but is mostly seen as a patch on skinhead flight jackets these days.

There'll have been her 100th birthday the year before the 75th jubilee and all. The party will never end.

According to the Torygraph Prince Andrew is going to be allowed to attend "Garter Day" on June 13th.

Has the Jubilee book costing £12m been delivered to schools yet?

QuoteOne way in which the Government has put this gratitude into practice is by commissioning a commemorative book to mark the occasion. It will cost £12 million to produce and be supplied free to every primary school pupil in the UK – constituting roughly 4.5 million copies.

The central purpose of the book is "to celebrate the Queen's reign in an engaging and informative way through celebrating key events and achievements of the UK and Commonwealth realms during that time," according to the contract, that has recently been awarded to DK Books.

However, other motives for the book are also revealed in the document.

The jubilee will "help communicate a narrative about modern Britain and its connections with the rest of the world," it states, adding that "the book will be a key part of this strategic aim, by ensuring that pupils, families, and teachers develop a collective understanding of the Queen's reign".

In other words, the jubilee celebrations and the commemorative book can at least partly be taken as a public relations campaign – designed to project a positive, stylised, selective version of Britain to the world, and in this case to our own schoolchildren.

The book contract adds that it must be "patriotic".

someone was in a flap on the neighbourhood whatsapp group about doing a street party, didn't think anything of it til the twee union jack flyer came through the letterbox. it's just an excuse for the mums to sit around drinking prosecco, same as when they managed to wangle a fortnightly street closure because their children don't play in the street like they used to.
