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

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

I would laugh only it's not funny.

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 haven’t posted on the ā€˜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 am disappointed, I thought it had been cancelled permanently.

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

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.

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 ā€œcoronation chickenā€ by the mayor. Love it! šŸ“

Oh, brilliant!

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

Try Frankie Boyle straight after for a drop of history.

And it was always very respectful of HMQ and the DoE

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

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

Grandma70s Sun 30-Apr-23 15:57:43

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

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

The Windsors Coronation Special is on Ch4 this evening! 😃
