Really Exciting Coronation News! 🥳

Apparently Princess Anne is in charge.
She has slashed the budget and now it’s all taking place in a Conference Centre in Slough

This is even more exciting, get yourselves to Cinderford. If you own a chicken and live in the Forest of Dean, the town council is calling on you to enter it in a competition that could see it crowned the “coronation chicken” by the mayor. Love it! 🐓

Oh wow, thanks Casdon that does indeed sound fabulous! 🐓

Oh, this is such a naughty programme.

More Monarchy bashing from channel 4. You republicans will revel, I'm sure.

Well, I’m a royalist, but I’ll still enjoy this. Must remember to watch it.

I’m not a republican.
Have you seen it Freya?
I just think it’s very funny.
I think William and Catherine like it too

And it was always very respectful of HMQ and the DoE

Try Frankie Boyle straight after for a drop of history.

I don't own a chicken, apart from the one in the freezer, destined to be crowned with coronation sauce 😂

We have a life-size poster of KC which is to be put up on the village hall wall so people can be blindfolded and play "Pin the Ears on the King" - the winner gets a cardboard crown.

I can’t wait for this we love The Windsors it’s so funny.

I am disappointed, I thought it had been cancelled permanently.

I am disappointed, I thought it had been cancelled permanently.

Why would it be?
It’s actually quite affectionate.
It’s not exactly biting satire.

And an a day in which we are asked to ‘pledge allegiance to Charles and his heirs’, I think that it’s fitting that they are taken down a peg or two?

I haven’t posted on the ‘allegiance’ thread, but I thought that the monarch was to support us (the little people - not leprechauns)?

Are they expecting a civil war or something?

I must watch that programme it sounds funny. However I have a great aunt and a cousin that have lived in Slough for years and I have visited them there. My aunt has a beautiful house there and it is not a slum area as many believe.
When anything big is happening in Windsor many satirists love to put on a comparison that Slough is the poor mans Windsor and have a jolly good laugh at the people of Sloughs
expense. It actually pisses me off as there are areas of Windsor that are far worse than Slough.
It's only because Windsor has the castle that people think it is glamourous and regal. It really isn't.

I would laugh only it's not funny.

Fanny sorry, I meant the actual performance a week tomorrow.

Oh sorry too Charley

Re Slough, I had no idea that it was thought of as a ‘slum area’. I certainly didn’t think that.
As with Milton Keynes, I just thought it was one of those ‘new towns’ which have lots of ‘out of town’ areas.
I’m in Derby, and we have one of our own. Unfortunately

nadateturbe they’ve certainly done a lot of heavy lifting for the Republicans today

Ref Slough ; Slough has been there since late 1800s.

If you walk through Eton which is where the college is there was a really old bridge and cars and buses could use it but it became very worn and now it can only be used for walking over.
The center of Slough is only about a 20 minute walk to Eton College. Eton College is about a 10 to fifteen minute walk over that bridge to Windsor Castle.

Windsor is quite pleasant with the River Thames and all the Royal swans beautiful on a warm sunny day.

Ricky Gervais put Slough on the map with his T.V. show called the Office all filmed in Slough.

There's something about the name of Slough that has a depressive implication. I blame John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress for creating the 'Slough of Despond'.
