Will you be buying any commemorative ware? grin

Callistemon21 Fri 04-Feb-22 11:31:03

That's true love ?

LauraNorderr Fri 04-Feb-22 11:25:02

By the way I had to add the ‘warm my feet on it’ so that Orlin didn’t feel unwanted.

LauraNorderr Fri 04-Feb-22 11:21:52

No Callistemon definitely not me. I might add to my list of pointlessness that if I have to dust it I don’t want it.

Callistemon21 Fri 04-Feb-22 10:43:51

I might find my Coronation mug and fill it with lubbly bubbly

Callistemon21 Fri 04-Feb-22 10:42:55

This isn't you, then, LauraNorderr?

Apologies, it's the DM ?

LauraNorderr Fri 04-Feb-22 10:41:25

If I can’t eat it, drink it, wear it or warm my feet on it I don’t see the point of it

I’m planning to throw a lubbly jubbly party with lubbly jubbly bubbly to celebrate in June but won’t be buying memorabilia of any sort.

I probably will, but only official items, which by the way are made in England

In the late 50s early 60s you could buy an orange drink called Jubbly. It was best frozen. It came in triangular pyramid shaped cardboard. It was marketed as Lubbly Jubbly. Maybe HM has an interest???

Iceland sell them.

Thanks Ali08 I thought they'd long gone!
Do you suppose they'll come back as Jubblys for the Jubilee

You're in charge of decorating the mugs, MissAdventure

I think Feb 6th is the Acession, June is the coronation. I had a coronation mug and a teaspoon.

The coronation was the next year, 1952 so presumably they've chosen that date as a compromise because the weather should be better.

I've got a coronation mug (somewhere) and a teaspoon used daily. I also had a tiny model of the coronation coach and horses but it fell to bits a few years ago.
Just looked £146! I'd have stuck it back together if I'd known.

I’ve got the little coach and horses. It sits on my table to this day!

I have a vague memory of a sweet little coach and horses that I had when I was a child. I wonder if that’s what I’m thinking of? I’ve often thought about it.

I've just watched The Apprentice Ali08 - three of them couldn't spell Arctic.

There was a pub built here, called The Silver Julbilee.
Everyone said it looked almost spaceaged; all square and modern.

It's a morrisons now.

I was 21 and travelling back to the Midlands from Devon with DH. We saw smoke from the beacons all the way home.

We climbed up a Beacon on Dartmoor, lit a beacon and could see the next one.
I'd forgotten that, it was wonderful!

MissAdventure Thu 03-Feb-22 21:10:20

It's great!
Looks like Grayson Perry. (Hope I got that name the right way round)

Ali08 Thu 03-Feb-22 21:00:08

OMG!! I bet the Queen is livid!!
It doesn't even look like her, and the spelling - don't get me started kn the spelling!!!

So far I’ve bought an Emma Bridgewater tea towel, but I may be tempted by a nice piece of pottery, we love the Queen.
Probably give that one a miss though Riverwalk.

Patsytaylor Thu 03-Feb-22 20:48:33

I buy these all the time for my grandchildren. Vimto triangle ice lollies

How grim is that!! What an insult!!

MerylStreep Thu 03-Feb-22 20:32:23

We have started talking about what we are going to do in our close.
Fortunately we are all bungalows so it’s easy take the flags ( loads and loads ?) round the telegraph poles. and back to the properties.

I remember the 1977 Silver jubilee. I was 5!
It was such a big deal.
And now we are returning to those days in so many ways.
I don’t think that a few flags and sarnies are going to cut it sad

Good heavens, there are some differing ages on here. I was 37!
