Prime Minister declares day of compulsory celebration!

Looking forward to it - especially as most of the cost will be covered by the additional tax on London pensions

Of course it will be , and why shouldn't it ? I say .

Phoenix

The PM's got it right for once!

Naughty Phoenix.

I hope the date is announced soon so that I can arrange to be out of the country. Don't like the idea of christening. Children should be left to make up their own minds about baptism or not when they're older. I didn't have mine christened and they have grown up to be decent human beings.

phoenix. Thanks a bunch! I have just woken up and realised what I did when I was half asleep. I am, officially, a dope dupe.

.... and compulsory road closures too!

Christening to be on 1 April I assume?

Free drinks for everyone who has a flag displayed in their garden?

Sunseeker- not all of us with the London Pension could possibly afford extra tax. I only know of one, male, who would be willing to help out, especially as it is related to the birth of the royal baby.

Charleygirl I have suggested on the "tax London Pensions thread" that the tax should only apply to those who live outside of London.

Don't think you can be head of the Church of England without being christened anno although I can't imagine that link will last till this one grows up.
Not certain it warrants flags and general merrymaking though

Same here Anno - apart that I am out of the country

Surely you should only draw a London pension if you work in London. You only got the London Allowance because you worked there. Perhaps the London allowance part of the pension of those retiring outside London should be put towards a magnificent christening present for the new royal baby.

What a good idea!

Great, any excuse for a party! and bonus if it boosts the economy too [GBP]

should have been 'only draw London pension if LIVING (in retirement) in London

Errrm, it's not actually real, but you all knew that, didn't you!

Do you think I should report myself before anyone takes offence?

What do you mean its not real . Plans have been made, I was hoping someone would post a link to the site where I could apply for funds (raised by the tax on London pensions)

I've made a start on the placards!

I've signed OH up for a voluntary 'Enforcer'. It'll get him out from under my feet....

According to STV breakfast news we are all so excited because a future king of ENGLAND has been born. Do they know something we don't know? Is the referendum a foregone conclusion? Is an independent Scotland cutting ties with the monarchy? We should be told.
