Not against The Monarchy. You can sing The national Anthem where ever / when ever you like.

It is sung at every major sporting event and so it should be.


I am just not interested in Another Royal Wedding.


If you want to party then Party. do not need a Royal Wedding to do that

I completely agree with all of that.


If there was a "Not the Royal Wedding" party I might go to it, but otherwise no way.


Which is why I suggested above, if people want a street party, why not have one with the rest of the country on the day of the Big Lunch. The weather is likely to be better, as well (was a lovely sunny day last year).

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.


Fuck the royal wedding. To have a street party on Lordship Lane would prove to be impossible. Too much traffic and public transport. Have it on your on street if that's what you want just as long as it's not on mine.

Don't worry, Jah. The chances of the south circular being closed off to host a street party are exactly the same as those of M&S deciding to open a branch because fifty people on the local internet forum promise to buy a ready-meal twice a week.. ie, zero.

And I ask again - all you people who so want this street party, are you going to organise it? Including liaising with the council re road closure, doing risk assessments, arranging first aid provision, publicising it, providing entertainment and everything else that would be involved?


Because if not, how do you think it is going to happen?

I don't mind this happening (on a side street, not on Lordship Lane), as long as absolutely NO public funds are used including those associated with traffic diversion, policing, street cleaning etc. If people want something like this, fine, but they should pay for it, maybe by ticketed entry.

I have no interest in it but I wouldn?t want to side with the ?just say no to everything? brigade either


I don?t know why so many people want to identify with a couple they don?t know and will never know but enough people do to want a party, so have a party


If it?s on Lordship Lane I don?t see a problem with that either - anything different is always good for a laugh. You stick England in a world cup final and you won?t have to close Lordship lane, it?ll be deserted anyway, so if it gets closed for a party why not?

Initially it sounded a bit naff. And all the general gushiness is a bit nauseating. But a big street party at a time of national celebration would be great. The wedding itself would be incidental and it would have an ED twist. Have it on a side road though.

So let me ask again, all you enthusiastic people - which of you is going to organise it? Cos it surely aint going to happen by itself :))


And "a time of national celebration"? It's clear just from this thread that a lot of people won't be celebrating, including me. If only I could afford to, I'd be out of the country :))


Two people getting married. Hooray for them. So what?

Tell you what Sue I'll start the ball rolling.


I'll pony up several big tubs of M&S deli coleslaw, a dozen M&S baguettes, various M&S dips, let's say half a dozen litre packs of M&S juices (even unto mandarin orange) and a good selection of M&S cold meats.


But only if the M&S has opened on LL by the time the shindig is on.


Catch me dragging all that lot on the bus from Brixton? WITH MY KNEES?


I should bleedin' coco.

About as much chance of that happening as any of the people on this thread actually organising a street party, I'd say :))


I stand to be proved wrong, but whatever happens I deffo won't be going to it if it's got any connection whatsoever to this ******* wedding :))

    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
