As always, I have Radio 4 on in the office, and this morning is full live coverage of the Queen's 90th birthday celebration in Westminster Abbey (I think). Gosh, poor soul, what a dreary, dismal po faced service it is. It is supposed to be a celebration! I know there wouldn't be balloons and party poppers and there are other events, but golly this is sooooooo dreary......all that organ music...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_election

Just to be helpful, a list of countries with elected presidents.
I expect everyone living in those countries has a high standard of living, there is no homelessness, no poverty and no food banks.

The President is great value for money, costs very little and everyone is as happy as can be.

I could be wrong, of course.

I don't want to start a third thread about the royals but I did feel rather annoyed to see a lot of them at Royal Ascot third afternoon drinking champagne and wearing outfits which individually cost more than I spend on clothes in a years. And they will all be wearing different outfits for each of the five days of the meeting.

I cannot get annoyed about HM when there are people like Philip Green around.
