Johnny Blaze May 2023 1:49pm, 5 May 2023 30,177 posts	0 Johnny Blaze We just walked up the poshest road in Stratford. 4 houses with flags but otherwise a big fat nothingburger. I’m still struggling to compute why we need another bank holiday in May when the Coronation is on a weekend anyway.

Cerrertonia May 2023 2:10pm, 5 May 2023 18,795 posts	0 Cerrertonia I'd say 30-40% of the houses along the road through Wensleydale just now have some kind of bunting or flags on display.
Alice the Camel May 2023 2:17pm, 5 May 2023 13,865 posts	0 Alice the Camel Devizes and surrounding villages seem to be going for it in a big way, from public screenings to street parties and everything in between. I assume being a Tory stronghold in a heavily military area has something to do with it.
Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) May 2023 2:18pm, 5 May 2023 37,745 posts	0 Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) I am going to stay away from our town, trip to Harlow for parkrun and Fetch meet up, if the weather isn’t too bad in the afternoon I may well do the same as Diogenes and jet wash the patio.
Mushroom May 2023 2:33pm, 5 May 2023 2,674 posts	0 Mushroom I shall be wearing my #NotMyKing t-shirt whilst standing on the touchline watching my daughter play football. Seems like the right time for it.
Fizz :-) May 2023 2:46pm, 5 May 2023 7,969 posts	0 Fizz :-) Well, I shall be parked in front of the TV all day and will hopefully see WW’s sister and BIL wherever they manage to get to on The Mall
Fizz :-) May 2023 2:50pm, 5 May 2023 7,971 posts	0 Fizz :-) I did have a smile at a granny in the queue having been to the Queen’s coronation describing it as “a once in a lifetime opportunity” though.

About This Thread

Maintained by Muttley

So will you be waving your little union jack and pledging your allegiance and scoffing coronation chicken or quiche at a street party?

Or ignoring the whole bloated exhibition of flummery and forelock tugging to inherited privilege and finding more important things to do?

I'm in the latter camp :-)
