Comb my own armpit hair? Do you think my name is Camilla or something? That's what I have a husband for you muppet! >:D<


Louisa.

Ah....so that's what all that was about!


Despite the kerfuffle, I still managed to park long enough in the Village to post a parcel ( whilst summat was clearly up at The Gallery,) AND do a speedy divert to avoid getting stuck by the news-team who were at Goodrich Primary.


Hardly any disruption....they were indeed slick.


So I managed to miss them..... TWICE! The life of this professional Cat-Sitter COULD have been sprinkled with Royal Glitter.....but it wasn't, sadly.


Hope they enjoyed The DPG though.....the current Van Dyck exhibition IS rather good ; - )

Hi Louisa,


Really sorry for the delay in coming back to you but I've been busy working on my maths and preparing my street for a jubilee party. It's the likes of you that make me even more staunch in my support for both the monarchy and the government. Where is your pride? The fact that we live in a country that enables us to walk freely, vote without the fear of retribution, or no doubt in your case, pitch a tent at St Pauls and protest whilst taking drugs and stealing and where we have ready access to a free health service, is something to be proud of. Where to start?

1. The royal family generate millions of pounds per year in revenue from tourists - simple but true.

2. They are treasured accross the world by people who are equally proud to be a part of the commonwealth.

3. The value of the word they spread is impossible to calculate but plain to see on the faces of the locals they visit.


Take pride in where you live.. we are so lucky to have what we have, yet there are always people like you moaning at every opportunity! Try a week or two in Darfur or time in Somalia and Djibouti.. see real suffering and then BE ASHAMED!!!

The Aussies are happy!!

Me and my school was one of the schools that were there (Harris boys) along with kingsdale, incredible, some of you hate them and some don't but meeting Kate was amazing, she looks thin on tv but looks increbly thinner for real life! Best day of my life!!!! :D

Hi Nick1962,

Love or hate the UK monarchy conceptually or practically I suspect some of your information may not be correct.


UK tourismstates 2010 25M visitors to the whole of the UK. But Paris tourism alone is stated at 42 million visits.

So its not clear having a monarchy makes a big difference to tourism for London or the UK when compared to its nearest city state rival located within a republic.

If we look at the brief encounter through the eyes of a 14 year old boy it might give us a bit more perspective on Junad1997's comment. Given that such visits are choreographed within strict time constraints, as was the Queen's visit to the DPG some years ago, there is never an opportunity to engage in conversation or spending 'quality' time. Perhaps if there was, there could be more to say but fair go, it's an honest comment and probably as much as anyone got from the hoo ha. Oh, plus a souvenir flag.

Well, UK Tourism is doing itself a disservice, then. These figures on Wikipedia, claim that the most-visited city by international visitors is indeed Paris, with 15.2 million, while London comes in at 14.7 million. And Paris is much easier (and cheaper) to get to for other Europeans, so that's not a surprising figure.


Having said that, I suspect that many visitors want to see the trappings of monarchy (Buck House, the Guards, Windsor etc) rather than the royals themselves.

Purrsonally, I've never liked Paris, although I love the rest of France I've seen. But possibly because I never grew up in London, the City and the Thames never ceases to fascinate me....as I'm sure it does many others, and our history, like it or not, is wrapped up with our Monarchy as much as anything else.

"Not so - and the French agree."


Those outside Paris yes. Same with London, those outside of it are not too enamoured of London. I lived in Paris for many years so I wouldn't agree with you and to appreciate a city takes more than a tourist visit.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
