Love that, Merlot. I found this parody report of all the commotion around nothing happening! Made me laugh. eveningharold.com/2013/07/18/exclusive-royal-baby-update-nothings-happened/

If this was Casualty, Royal outriders would screech to a halt outside - after one of them had managed to run over and kill a pedestrian, Kate would emerge from a Bentley clutching her tum and not quite make it to the top of the steps before her waters break, a group of placard waving benefit cuts protesters would then gather round her as she collapses on the top step shrieking, 'It's COMING'. William crawls between the legs of a protester only slide back down the steps in a dead faint. shock But help is at hand....Pippa has arrived with a 'Deliver your own Royal Baby' party pack and within a short time the future heir is brought safely into the world and sails over the heads of the protesters attached to a couple of appropriately coloured helium balloons!

Pippa is then signed up by Mothercare grin

Ooh 'eck! There's an anti page 3 campaigner having a bit of a bust-up with a photographer now. She's a brave girl.

j08 Thu 18-Jul-13 20:32:01

She could wave to me!

Daughter in London this evening. Wonder if I should text her to go get her photo taken there.

j08 Thu 18-Jul-13 20:31:05

Yeah. They've straightened the camera now.

Pittcity Thu 18-Jul-13 20:23:51

Someone just stood on the steps and put on a Queen mask was snapped and walked off...

j08 Thu 18-Jul-13 19:43:44

The camera has got tipped upwards and nobody's noticed. If she arrives we won't see her! hmm

Ana Thu 18-Jul-13 19:42:06

Walk away NOW...! grin

j08 Thu 18-Jul-13 19:38:33

I might regret I saw this thread.

j08 Thu 18-Jul-13 19:38:10

There's a family group having their photo taken on the steps now.

No sign of her yet.

j08 Thu 18-Jul-13 18:25:39

It reminds me of that KitKat advert with the pandas [is that treasonable?].

Gorki Thu 18-Jul-13 15:13:20

There were lots of cameramen outside the Royal Berks at lunchtime Deedaa !!confused

Anne58 Thu 18-Jul-13 14:19:42

dorset that's exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of! Or perhaps someone who had sworn they had given up smoking being caught puffing away!

In some ways I'm not surprised that it hasn't been claimed as an "art installation". Wasn't there someone who set up a camera somewhere (not very specific, am I!) and filmed for umpteen hours and claimed it was art?

Andy Warhol comes to mind, but not sure it was him.

j08 Thu 18-Jul-13 13:54:19

I'm going to have a quick look.

Yes I know they'd take her in round the back! hmm

dorsetpennt Thu 18-Jul-13 13:52:42

phoenix there was an instance of a live scan of a crowd at a football final - a chap, who was supposed to be at a relative's funeral, was seen by his boss who subsequently fired him.

It would be a bit of an Ah-a if she went over 2 weeks like DD,poor girl must think she is living in a goldfish bowl.

Deedaa Wed 17-Jul-13 20:44:58

Don't people have lives anymore? I live in hope of her being rushed to Royal Berks. while everyone is queued up in London grin

Anne58 Wed 17-Jul-13 15:44:13

I wonder what would happen if someone watching it saw someone they knew, especially if the person was supposed to be elsewhere at the time?
