Hey - I'm no republican - just not good with formal weddings. Very happy for all those that enjoyed the show as I enjoyed my walk.

Well I didn't watch the wedding at all (not even on the news), BUT, I spent most of the day...ahem...celebrating it on my friend/neighbour's front lawn with other friends/neighbours. We ate, chatted, snoozed, teased, laughed, played and drank to excess. A fabulous day. Thanks to M for arranging this mini-street-party and to her young son J for suggesting the idea. Perfect.

Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed watching what Britain does best and I agree it was a great showcase for UK plc.


I employ three hundred people in the USA across three States and overwhelmingly they were excited about the event.


Most US networks covered the wedding live, with few commercial breaks


My wife is Canadian and working back in Winnipeg, again the level of interest was tremendous and the majority of her friends stayed up to watch from 4am onwards


Also my cousin Dan commanded the Sovereign's Escort on the day, so was hoping all went off well for him.

    • In part, it’s largely down to people not actually caring about anyone or anything else apart from their own gratification (btw, there are better ways to get a dopamine fix)
    • I totally agree it just seems that it a thing nowadays.  It must be due to how fireworks are sold.

    • If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.
