It takes all sorts......

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

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!

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

Blame merlotgran !

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

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

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

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,

Up to five. Can't they count?

Apparently there were five of them plus the nanny.

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

Although, where was the bodyguard?

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

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

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

This gets funnier by the minute.

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

I don't think they're going hungry

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

Three cheers for good old British eccentrics!

I wonder if they're still there?

I'm getting it mixed up with all the people who watched the French kings getting dressed I think!

Tegan It was just the one person – a Government Minister who was invariably a man – who had to be present to check that there wasn't a suspicion of another warming pan substitution. The late Queen Mother refused such an indignity when giving birth to Princess Margaret.

Thanks hilda; doesn't look as big tonight, but maybe I've just got used to it.ruby; I've got a postcard of Pope John Paul II that a friend sent me when he was working in Rome in 1985; he was working on a satellite called ITACSAT [my friend, not the Pope]. Found him very charismatic but ultimately a huge disappointment...so much promise at first but was so reactionary [the Pope, not my friend]. I waited for ages to see the Queen pass by in London once, but fainted just before she arrived .

It's Venus Tegan.
I wish I had nothing to do, and plenty of money. I can't afford the time to hang around outside the Lindo Wing, I'll just have to wait for the announcement on TV.

Yes, size is large, weight is heavy.
