im a traveller, you are a tourist

Any chance of a fruit cake at all? Or KitKats? My only weaknesses .
I'll try to squash in behind the sofa with you others if it OK. We're due to fly to Canada in the summer then an Alaska cruise but don't tell Greta. She'll not understand that I've been saving for 15 years for it.

Are there any Mounties behind the sofa too?
(Forget the bara brith)

Ok folks The Behind the Sofa is fully stocked with the following- cushions, throws, Easter biscuits, wine (all colours), a tea urn and a bottomless pot of coffee, various cakes and a supply of yummy sandwiches- all fliers welcome

They’ll be fine behind GrannyGravy’s sofa Merlot, and we only charge wine and cakes.

I wonder who will pay for their security now?

All of it?

Do think they like Bara Brith? Or do they prefer Welsh Cakes do you think?

Ooh Bara Brith and Welsh Cakes, it’s going to heaven behind the sofa. Maybe H+M will want to join us when they realise that Canada won’t provide security any more. They’ll be perfectly safe with us, no one will take on a sofa full of battle hardened grannies.

I'm sure his wife sees him as a saint but surely he hasn't yet been given the gift of walking on water?

And why should he not fly home to his own country and continue his interests?

All very well to look after your own carbon footprint and good for you but it does no one any good when you obsess about other people's.

and Welsh Cakes, please, Pantglas2

Sorry, there are two large hospitals in Bristol nearby, one is a Children's Hospital.

I’ve stated that I’ll stop flying when the red arrows and F1 cease to exist so budge up behind the sofa - I’ve buttered some Bara Brith....

Given the amount of abuse that they have received since they became engaged I don't blame them for their decision to withdraw. I'm getting rather bored with the whole topic though. We should just leave them alone to get on with their lives. As for all the travelling, they are doing what celebrities do. Once one decides to use the internet, instead of attending 'in the flesh' perhaps others will join them.
It must be quite crowded behind the sofa, but may I also squeeze in, please? I flew to Australia last November to attend my daughter's wedding, and returned home at the beginning of February. I am going back again at the end of April for the birth of my son's first baby.
I told them off for not coordinating the events better. They have no consideration for their mother having to make the long and expensive trip twice in six months! However I make no apology for stacking up the air miles. At 80 I am going to visit them as often as possible, until I can't manage the journey any more.
(Dons tin hat and ducks behind the sofa. Move over, everyone. I've brought chocolates!)

Off topic, Canada will no longer provide security for the Sussexes when they step down as senior royals end of March.

There is a large hospital near the city centre.
I just hope there is no disruption to services there.

Presumably on that yacht up the Avon?
That would make quite an entrance.
Or perhaps train.

How is she getting there?

Greta Thunberg is coming to Bristol tomorrow and there are 'multiple warnings' about the excessive traffic which will be result of this visit, making normal business extremely difficult and disrupting the city.

Mmm Easter biscuits are delicious. Hutch up you lot, I'm coming round with a tinful

Could I get back to the main point? What are Easter biscuits, and do you have enough to share?

Or if they just stayed put in Canada and dialled into the meeting from their kitchen table like the rest of us do then they wouldn't need any security.

Maybe if they paid the £20million for their own security they wouldn’t be able to afford all the toing and froing!

Make room for another one behind that sofa!!

If he's just 'one of the boys' he'll not need security guards. That's a relief anyway.

Love it

The words are so appropriate

I feel a song coming on.
