I believe there's a hockey match.
I am in, so long as it doesn't cost 42.8 million! 😛 😉

Originally posted by @suzianneI was a fantastic spectacle which was blessed with great weather; it seems to have gone down very well over here in all the news media and has given the UK a boost.
I watched a lot of the proceedings on TV, it was on most of the day here.
The wedding itself was marvelous and the trip after in the Ascot Landau Carriage was charming. I loved Meghan's dress she wore to the reception, it was my favorite of the day.
Chelsea beating Manchester Untied later in the FA Cup final topped off a splendid day here in good old Blighty.

I guess you have to be from Britian to understand putting 42,8 million into a wedding!!! 😉

I can tell you that it will not be paying 42.8 milliion on a wedding...LOL.. I am not a tourist guide by the way, you would have to contact them if you are truly interested. Do you want me to get you a number?

The Queen is the head of state of Canada, entirely separate from her role as Queen of the UK. If the UK were to become a republic, she would still be Queen of Canada.
Originally posted by @drewnogalSuch an enjoyable day. Lots more fun than playing chess and reading the boring old GF all day.
I’ll spend the day watching it on the telly at Aranya10 ‘s little palace, perched high on a Welsh hill, with Goldfinger15. We’ll be feasting on chicken rolls and an Iceland version of the wedding cake, all washed down with a few glasses of Prosecco.

The sky-blue E-Jag they drove off in was classy. 10/10 for good taste in motoring.

Which topic; Brexit?
Is that your criteria?

Originally posted by @wolfgang59No, the majority voted to leave. Besides, every time you open your mouth it is to criticise my country or make small-minded mealy-mouthed negative remarks. I see you repeatedly criticise the country where I have lived all my life, paid my taxes and worked hard to support the community.

To be fair it's probably best that you left the UK for your privileged life in NZ.

Originally posted by @trev33I don't think so, which is why the remoaners have stopped demanding a recount; the resolve to leave is indeed, resolute.
If there was a new vote tomorrow remain would probably win by more vote\xs than leave did a couple of years ago
And the wedding was a waste of money, as was a ticket to the FA cup final 😉
The wedding was epic and you know it haha
Did I forget you are a united fan?

In the past I have debated for and supported
British cuisine
British beer
the NHS
British Education
British Police
London (which I love)
Parliament
British multi-culturalism
and most recently British Marmite!
Just find an example of me being anti-British!
Originally posted by @trev33The EU is truly dead to Britain. Feelings are so deeply entrenched now - the lid has come off the can of worms that is the EU and the genie won't go back in the bottle. Do you really think things could ever go back to the way they were before? Oh no, that ship sailed a long time ago.

I have said for years that the economic theft the euro has caused to southern Europe is unsustainable and that there will be a revolt - all empires must fall. I have said for a long time that Italy is the weak spot in the EU that will bring it tumbling down - unlike Greece, their economy is huge and it's a founding member. With this new Italian government, either a ref on the euro or a default of its staggering debt to the ECB is coming - both sending the eurozone into meltdown.
This has been in the pipeline for years.
