I will, Dave. They’ve asked me to wear a top hat but I imagine that’ll draw some complaints from the poor suckers behind me.
I'm particularly interested on your Father-in-Law's reactions....

I would say many are keen. Many are indifferent.
But...if you took the royal family away...we are left with....politicians. Say no more.
thats a grimmer thought.
Love or loathe royalty, they pay for themselves and do more good than harm overall.

I returned from two weeks at Walt Disney World to Manchester on the 'big day'. The only time it was mentioned in our party (of four) in Florida was when a shop staff member on Main Street USA asked if we were THERE for the Royal Wedding (in other words were we there to get away from it) - and they say yanks don't 'get' irony!
But I'm afraid the biggest joke on our last morning in the Magic Kingdom was supplied by one of the many photographers snapping tourists pics in front of Disney things, who said "so you're going back to the rain huh (ie in England)?" The rain NEVER STOPPED for the whole of the second week in the ' sunshine state'! Seriously, from 12th May Saturday morning to the following Friday I thought we were under a waterfall. Ok, it was very warm, but we do not get rain like that in Manchester or in Barnsley where I am, in the so called grimy wet north of England.
At least there was a never ending supply of John Williams and Ennio Morricone to listen to whilst wandering around. I was quite surprised at the latter, especially as it was in the Fort Wilderness campground. A very American location with a very Italian composer supplying a the piped music for a wild west style place. And we're talking relative obscurities like Companeros!

I was embarrassed to see TV news coverage here (on one of the national Spanish channels) of interviews with fat, red English girls, sitting in the street cafés, drinking pints of beer and eating doughnuts while watching the big satellite screens which the pub owners had set up outside. They were screaming and crying as if it were a Justin Beiber concert, or The Beatles.
This comment reminds me of the news footage of the British miners strike of the 1980s. Often they would show the miners not working complaining about the lack of money and loss of jobs, whilst downing pints of beer in working mens' clubs! No doubt a political bias on part of the relevant news service (and beer WAS very cheap in those places), but it didn't look good..
