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 hmm

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Naughty Phoenix.

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

It seems that the day of the Royal babies christening will be a national holiday of compulsory celebration, with mandatory bunting and Union Flags.

The news sites are already predicting that some unscrupulous traders will take advantage and bunting costs will go through the roof.

Downright profiteering if you ask me.
