The Queen may have to change her plans for a traditional Christmas.

Somehow I don't think the queen said she was furious. It's more likely to be those who arrange where she will stay and who will stay with her. If only our main problem this Christmas was choosing which castle we lived it. I don't think she should be performing any duties, let her stay safe with hubby and let the younger royals take over.

Well she may have been furious, but I doubt she said it to anyone who she couldn't trust to not talk to the Daily Mail.

Quite right, too.
I was thinking, rather, G&T, dinner on tray on sofa in bedroom. Like me

MrsRochester The Queen would never wear her slippers in the sitting room?

Does it look like I'm bovvered?

Callistemon

^Well I agree. However when I said I wasn’t bothered I was leapt on!^

Well, I was going to jump on you for your spelling, Lucca

"Am I bovvered" is correct.

Oh yeah but no but yeah.

Meicrodons still roam the hills and vales here in Cymru.
They are very secretive but can be seen if you know where to look.
?

Isn’t that a type of dinosaur Callistemon ?
Yes, popty ping is much better, I shall call it that henceforth.

Yes Callistemon do try one out on your DH to make sure it’s still edible, although in my long experience of husbands they will eat anything (looks round carefully in case Grandad is watching for misandry.)?

Yes, they're good dustbins!
Once trained properly, of course. Mine's nearly trained but not quite; it does take some time.

My grandchildren always preferred Popty Ping to the actual Welsh Word lemongrove it is so onomatopoeic, but as your question was directed to Callistemon I will leave the reply to her. Thanks, Lexisgranny!

Meicrodon?

Well I agree. However when I said I wasn’t bothered I was leapt on!

I make Christmas puddings every three years, they keep well and taste delicious more so after several years.

^Here we go - royal bashing again^
Apart from one or two, I think this thread is quite lighthearted.

We always expect the usual republican moans even when a thread about the RF is not serious.

It must be true, it’s from an unnamed source ! ! ! !

Here we go - royal bashing again. Who believes everything they read in the newspapers?

Never mind the Queen, there could be a shortage of Christmas Puds! The newspapers report panic buying of them (it’s October 1st)?

I still have my two 4 year old Christmas puds in the cupboard if Her Maj would like one?
Should I test one out on DH first?

Shortage of sprouts you say lemon? Oh good, detest the things!

Oh such a tragedy - perhaps we need to have a collection for her........Oh that's right - we do every day

I'll try not to let it spoil my Christmas, which is spent alone, because I've nobody to go to, really, apart from kind and well meaning people who say "well you could come to us?" (Then probably go home and worry that I might take them up on it)

I'll think of her maj and count my blessings.

Aonk - My thoughts entirely!

I honestly can't say that my heart bleeds for HM. Every one else is having to rethink their usual family traditions and she's no different where COVID is concerned. I suspect that her dummed down Christmas festivities will be a million miles from ordinary folks.

I prefer your royal family narrowboatnan; infinitely more fun.

I bring to you ... The Royle Family Christmas

aonk I think you'll find it cost tax payer a lot more

Here is what the Royals actually cost explained.
