Dear Gransnet,
Hi. So nice of you to remember me, even if only to update latest security protocols.
It is the eve of the auspicious occasion of the wedding of our Royal Highnesses, Harry and Meaghan, and what a delight they are to us all. In fact, the entire Royal Family are such a delight, comfort and inspiration. Unfortunately, I am unable to attend the ceremony as I have a slight medical condition which prevents me from flying and it is a little late to organise an ocean voyage to be there on time.
Thus it is, I can only send our family’s very best wishes for their future life together and we hope they will also be bringing a few Royal bonny babies of their own to the gorgeous developing Royal Album as it moves into the 21st Century.
Yes, we love the Royal Family down here in Australia and look forward to the continuation of the magnificent example set by His Royal Line and Queen Elisabeth II in particular as it approaches the time of King Charles’s reign. Hail Queen Elisabeth II and Prince Phillip, hail England. God bless and save the Crown, the future King Charles and their Royal Highnesses one and all.
We hope and pray it will be a very fine day for the wedding tomorrow.
Love and best wishes,
Your faithful and obedient servant (most of the time),
Robert....xxoo ( Alias Robomonk & etc.)

I’m drawing up my chair, opening a packet of crisps and settling down for the battle to proceed.

Hail England? Surely you would prefer sunshine on such an auspicious occasion, Mr R. ?

I was hoping that the OP was ironic, but have a dreadful feeling that it wasn't. hmm

MawBroon Fri 18-May-18 10:21:59

You’re not allowed to say THAT word! ??? grin

Jayh Fri 18-May-18 10:25:18

I remember robomonk from about three years back when he started several threads. I'm pretty sure he posted a poem and some other musings in this same style. I'm guessing he's had the security update email from GNHQ and it's prompted another post. (He's in Australia.)

I wish I knew what to wear.

Bathsheba Fri 18-May-18 13:39:14

Maw would that T word rhyme with the proverbial cat that he seems to like putting among the pigeons? Couldn't agree more grin
