I just hadn’t realised the gravitas of the wedding until I turned BBC Breakfast on this morning to see that Carol Kirkwood has been brought in on her day off to give us the weather forecast at Windsor. Do you think if the weather was bad they are going to postpone it?
I liken this to being in the armed forces and in a war zone and realising the BBC’s Kate Addie has just turned up!

I have nothing against the wedding, I am just wondering whether the media is going a bit over the top again?

Get ready for the 40 page pull out special in the Daily Mail tomorrow Whistle

I read all this, but I think in reality most of you U.K. gents are going to eat these cereals for breakfast tomorrow...Whistle



... and you all have quietly bought a bunch of this type of memorabilia for your china cupboard... Cool




... and for your kids you bought these colouring books and paper dolls. Thumbs Up




... but nobody is brave enough to admit it. Rolling with laughter

Looking for my hat now.

Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Hello from Aussie, but I'm originally "British", I'm a big time "Monarchist", but I'm very much over this.
I remember when Princess Margaret was not allowed to marry Townsend, WW11 hero, Spitfire Pilot etc, but now the Royal Family are apparently happy to cop the "baggage" that comes with this woman,...a real soap opera.
I love Harry, but I reckon He's had brain fade choosing this woman.
Having said this, I would not wish to be under such public scrutiny, and I hope that, like any other newly weds, they will enjoy a happy life together,...but I will not be watching the Event.
Pickles.

Just about to leave home to get to the Ribblehead Viaduct for 08.00 to meet up with an old Army mate for a walk up Whernside, no television up there thank goodness.

Quotes from two members of the Aussie forum.....

Rumour has it there is a wedding on TV today. Anyone having a wedding party?

Land-rover owners are more likely to be having a "Welding Party".

I drove down to the warehouse when it had just started thinking the roads would be quiet - wrong they were busier than usual. The radio was on in the car so I had the 'delights' of the American bishop OMG I was just grateful that I wasn't there having to sit through it and look interested.
Did come across this tho which cracked me up

Me too. I expect Harry doesn’t need to take a run down to the garage to get petrol to cut his grass?

Trimmed 100 m hedge at that time.
This is no joke... My wife was next in line with a pretty full trolley at one of the cash register lines of the supermarket this morning, and an English couple wanted to jump the queue in front of her. She did not let them, and they got upset because they were in a rush to go and watch the “event” on TV. Cash register lady made them go queue like all others.

🤣 I wish them both well as people. But it’s the idiots that go with it and the fuss and stupidity that annoys me so much. Stupid tv presenters are enough to put you off in its self like white teeth sc*ofield etc. 🙄😂 Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧
