April 29th - Where will you be?

[Marmora Man]

I will not be in front of a TV, in Westminster, the Mall or anywhere near the "wedding".

Weather permitting I intend to be walking sections 8 & 9 of The Capital Ring, a 75m linked circular walk around London that starts and finishes at Woolwich, with a picnic & book in my rucsac, returning home pleasantly tired to a warm bath and a glass of scotch.

[Sue]

Anywhere that does not involve having to be reminded of the wedding.

Charles and Diana's wedding - was on Weymouth beach, it was deserted apart from my daughter and myself :))

Diana's funeral - cleared out garden shed (can't do that this time as I no longer have one).

[Guest]

I hope Scotland. Got an urge to go on the Caledonian sleeper and the West Highland steam railway, including that lovely viaduct (the one that the Hogwarts Express goes over in the Harry Potter films).

Aside from my personal lack of interest in the royal family, I find it obscene that any public money should be used for the wedding considering the scale of the public cuts (c.?20m on policing alone I gather - ?8m more than the budget for the BBC local radio service which may be axed, for example). Seems rather 'Let them eat cake' to me.

[HonaloochieB]

In a pub drinking the health of our Prince & Princess of Day Off.

[silverfox]

Having a street party just off Lordship Lane.

Don't worry Ms B, it won't cost any public money because there's none to spare - the Welsh and Scots have taken it all for free prescriptions. I'd join us and boycott Scotland if I were you.

[Guest]

Apparently the police are getting double time because, guess what, it's a bank holiday...

Don't you bad mouth Scotland or Wales, either; at least they're spending it on something worthwhile.

Perhaps, but it's your money they're spending - and let's face it, Alex Salmon looks like he's eating his way through it.

[Guest]

Now that's just mean.

[Chick]

He's just jealous

[silverfox]

Exactly Ms B they are mean. They're even freezing council tax and water rates at your expense so they don't have to spend their own money

[Guest]

Like Southwark did last year. My council tax and water bills for 2011/12 don't seem to have gone up noticeably either. Suppose that's OK though?

[silverfox]

Yep

[Guest]

Shame it undermines your argument, but you can't have everything.

[silverfox]

You can if you're Welsh or Scottish apparently

[Chick]

I am glad he didn't say scotch.

[Twirly]

Mr Twirly and I will be packing to go on our hols. I had hoped we'd actually be flying out around the time of the wedding, but the flight is in the evening as it transpires. I have to admit that I shall probably take a sneaky peek at the frock though, don't think I'll be able to resist.

[MrBen]

In front of the telly all day with a big bowl of crisps.

Or in Collioure in the south of France.

I can't decide?

[witsd]

At work earning some lovely double time money, whilst having to do practically no work.

[oilworker]

What's wrong with saying Scotch??

(Make mine an Ardbeg)

[BrandNewGuy]

Up in the south Shropshire Hills, listening to the curlews and skylarks, sipping a bottle of Big Nev's ale from the Six Bells in Bishops Castle, sitting in the sun outside a stone cottage with no TV and no internet, a mile from the nearest road. Bliss...

[paragon]

in traf square laughing and having fun.

[aquarius moon]

Am I the only person who will be sitting in front of the tv, actually watching it?!

[Jeremy]

I can't think of anything more boring than watching the wedding of someone I don't even know.

Weddings are pretty boring at the best of times (although the piss-up afterwards is sometimes fun).

[Mick Mac]

Did anyone else get an invite? Want to share a cab?

[sofaRunner]

I'm really looking forward to it..... time for celebration & a bit of good old flag waving. there isn't enough patriotism!
