Potty people make me smile smile

I wonder if they're still there? grin

Three cheers for good old British eccentrics!

A week on I'd imagine a few have gathered cobwebs/given up/caught a cold / run out food/ fallen out with those nearby etc grin

merlotgran Tue 28-Apr-15 17:13:15

I don't think they're going hungry grin

The baby is due now, in fact the other day, so the people camping out will be getting fed up soon.

merlotgran Tue 28-Apr-15 18:53:34

While they're sitting there or sleeping on a bench she's Gone Swimming!! grin

This gets funnier by the minute.

rosequartz Tue 28-Apr-15 19:52:52

I am going to send her some Raspberry Leaf Tea. Works well, as I can testify grin

rosequartz Tue 28-Apr-15 19:53:54

Well, at least she didn't have to get changed in front of everyone else in the communal changing room merlotgran

rosequartz Tue 28-Apr-15 19:54:32

Although, where was the bodyguard?

loopylou Tue 28-Apr-15 19:55:45

In the boot?
Wrestling with George?
Mopping up wet footprints?

merlotgran Tue 28-Apr-15 20:00:52

Apparently there were five of them plus the nanny.

durhamjen Tue 28-Apr-15 20:03:36

Up to five. Can't they count?

jo1book Tue 28-Apr-15 20:10:54

Good luck to them; they are having a bit of fun. Every morning I switch on the news hoping the newly arrived baby has knocked the boring old election from top news spot,

loopylou Tue 28-Apr-15 20:14:04

Including the obstetrician just in case.....?

loopylou Tue 28-Apr-15 20:15:04

Using Buch House swimming pool as a potential birthing pool is definitely OTT IMO grin

jo1book Tue 28-Apr-15 20:33:58

I don't understand how this thread has got from royalist fans o swimming, Best way to keep the old pelvic muscles in shape!

loopylou Tue 28-Apr-15 20:36:36

Blame merlotgran smile!

Definitely eccentric, but some of them have breakfast coffee and pastries from the Cambridge's - tied with a pink ribbon! What a nice freebie.

Since when has pregnancy stopped you being able to drive? The seat belt might be a problem but I don't see anything odd in her being able to steer the car!

loopylou Sat 02-May-15 06:44:45

Well, it's all starting now so the waiting hoards won't hopefully have long to wait!
