Mostly people have cast us as a bunch of old curmudgeons who don't know how to have a good time.I'm no great fan of inherited wealth and title - mainly because I have none to inherit. My great uncle Percy drank it away and gave the country estate to his cleaner. I was, in times gone by, from a proper posh family, we even have streets in London named after us but the D of Y, no, I'm afraid not. As it was, I grew up in a town with a Royal Charter where my refusal to bow to the popular worship of royalty got me into much hot water. I am, however, very, very patriotic but I don't think the country is defined by the monarchy.Wylye Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03513714783299643621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972390874182782404.post-78970251649581361992011-05-01T23:35:57.207+01:002011-05-01T23:35:57.207+01:00Trish, I aim to please!

"Here's comes William, putting one foot in front of the other while breathing in and out" or "And now I'd like to introduce you to one of Catherine's friends from prep school. Now I know you haven't seen her for 20 odd years but talk us through what she might possibly, maybe, well you never know and I've got a show to pad out with inane chatter, be feeling right now". I wish they'd just shut up!Wylye Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03513714783299643621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972390874182782404.post-25954492917044864102011-04-30T10:31:17.477+01:002011-04-30T10:31:17.477+01:00Hello:

Loved it, loved, loved it - just as we have imagined it to be. Of course, we could not totally appreciate it all withouut becoming informed of some of the details of yesterday's events which we had, to this point, totally managed to ignore. But Google, and BBC on line [we have no television] Highlights, have put us right, as did the wonderful video clip put out by T-Mobile.<br /><br />But, the details you have included here do make us wonder if you are not very closely related. Could you be the very bitter D of Y, denied an invitation? No, perhaps not, for you would never criticise, as possibly here, the lovely Princesses B and E!!<br /><br />A superb post!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972390874182782404.post-81783284316065066692011-04-30T08:46:37.280+01:002011-04-30T08:46:37.280+01:00Shame it wasn't televised - I would have loved...Shame it wasn't televised - I would have loved to have seen that.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972390874182782404.post-44611650035860799322011-04-30T08:00:17.435+01:002011-04-30T08:00:17.435+01:00Yup, you got it spot on!
