King Charles coronation

Once more for those at the back having trouble following...

I have said on another thread today that I hope some day more people will think like me and so I know I'm in the minority. Telling me I'm in the minority isn't the killer blow you think it is.

If Scotland votes for independance independence, that does not mean becoming a republic. It means political separation from the WM Parliament. That has nothing to do with the King; who is also King of Scots.

Get rid of? What, you going to set us all adrift in a wee boat? And they say the Scots hate the English. Other way about for some, it seems.

Volver I’m pretty sure I’m one of the majority in the UK so it’s you that is out of step, it won’t matter to all those in Scotland because you will be independant soon.
My only regret is that I won’t get a vote to get rid of them!

Nope, not interested what republicans say they can rant all they like I will back the pageantry and tradition that the monarchy brings

Not interested ... Rant.

Behold, the level of engagement of monarchists. Got any other arguments about how our country is organised or just that you like the fancy frocks and horsies?

Another rude poster. Same argument about cost per head 😴

^Two republicans view points will monarchists listen^
Probably not, unfortunately.

Even if £100m is correct it’s about £1.40 per head of the population, which is a drop in the ocean compared with the amount that is wasted in the UK each year

Probably not, unfortunately.

Do you think £100 million is a lot of money to pay for a man to have a crown put on his head he is already a king. Why don’t pay

'This elevating of one family, what is the matter?!'

This caller who finds the UK's hierarchy 'nauseating' says 'we are going to spend £100m to put a metal hat on someone's head', adding that we are the 'only country in Europe' that still has coronations.

'If King Charles wants to have an extravagant coronation, he should put his hand in his own pocket.'

This caller says the Royal Family 'are the epitome of inequality' and doesn't believe they have 'a place in any modern democratic society'.

And more scope for more whinging.

Bet they wouldn't miss it for quids. Another chance to be in front of the cameras.

By inviting them, Charles would retain the moral high ground. It's then up to them to decide whether they will accept or not.

Of course Charles will invite his son and daughter in law to the coronation. I think they’ll come myself. I suspect that they’ll be treated as they were at the jubilee with little opportunity to flaunt themselves but afforded every civility. Maybe Johnny will be seated behind them again. At the end of the day this is about Charles and no one else.

Just say the magic word and I'll transport you 😀

Oh no, can I go to Freemantle instead please, it’s nearer my sister and the penal facilities are just as grim as Botany Bay. They grow coffee around Perth, maybe we could have Coronation Coffee - the only issue being that would alienate tea drinkers - a new divide instead of royalists and republicans.

Anyone who mentions cauliflower again will be transported to Botany Bay.

Casdon What!! And us just Brexited!
Maybe something more Commonwealth-y?. Chuck some cauliflower on the Barbie??

Did he support Brexit - my guess is not, but I don’t know?Definitely not Coronation Cauliflower Au Gratin Au Barbie, that would be very messy.
Maybe Coronation Cauliflower Callistemon, that sounds delicious, and has a nod to Australia - no actual callistemon in it though, it might be a bit prickly on the tongue.

It's not in flower here in the UK, Casdon, although so far it has survived the frost and snow.

Unfortunately Coronation Cauliflower tends to drip on the charcoal and put out the bbq. Tinnies are much better.

Whoever said that whatever he does will be wrong, in the eyes of H & M anyway, is IMO right.

I should imagine that of course he’ll invite them, since leaving them out will be just another source of public, self-pitying whingeing for them.
It’s just occurred to me that they’ll probably be disappointed if they ARE invited - one less reason for going on e.g. Oprah for another whine about the RF.

Akshully😆I think I like that cauliflower idea, but mixed with chicken
Highgrove cauliflower coronation chicken sounds great!
Served with saffron rice and naans.
All it needs are cold beers and loads of friends and family and yards of bunting.

Just re-read what I said - I meant because it’s otherwise known as bottle brush plant, I certainly wasn’t implying you’re prickly Callistemon21, I know you aren’t at all.

Indeed, Parsley. Who would send them money? Bit weird really.

BBC News - Donations for late Queen given to fuel bill charity

Who would send money to the Royal Family and why?
The King is certainly showing that he is in touch with the real world. I like that.

They'll be invited because in that way the King retains the moral high ground whether they turn up or not. Personally I hope not.
Incidentally, I think King Charles is doing a good job so far. I've just read that he has organised for fridges and freezers to be distributed to food banks throughout the land and the money donated to the RF on the death of the queen has been given to a charity that distributes energy vouchers to those who cannot afford to heat their homes. Ok, he's rich and can afford it, but it's the thought that counts. Good on yer, King Charles.

Well he can, as long as it’s not chicken and it’s environmentally friendly - how about Coronation Cauliflower Au Gratin, which reaches out to Europe as well?

Oh no, I have to make a large one tomorrow.

Good practice for May
