I wonder if they'll move the early May bank holiday to the Friday instead? I was looking forward to an extra bank holiday.
That’s what the discussions in the news are suggesting today with ministers saying it would be welcomed by the whole nation. Not me, planned a weekend away with the better half who’s a teacher so if they move the bank holiday we have to cancel our plans and I suspect there are thousands more in that position. Add in a bank holiday by all means but don’t take away dates that are taken as guaranteed every year.

They messed around with the Jubilee earlier this year. Moved the late May holiday to the Thursday and added an extra one on the Friday. Add in a bank holiday by all means but don’t take away dates that are taken as guaranteed every year.
I'd have left the Monday as it was and just had either the Friday as an extra one or the following Monday.
Living on a thin line innit
All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old,
But there's no England now.
All the wars that were won and lost
Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore.
All the lies we were told,
All the lies of the people running round,
They're castles have burned.
Now I see change,
But inside we're the same as we ever were.
Living on a thin line,
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Bit unfair really. The new King is putting himself out there amongst the adoring public in a way his late mother stopped doing years ago.
Dont know what these people want as apart from the pagentry there is little else to recommend this rainy little island.
Without them it would just be worship of some 'elected' brazilian style ballstonario t

t.The dignitary or whoever she was the was escorting King Charles did absolutely nothing to help him, instead of standing in front and shielding the King from any threat, she instead stood back. Granted it probably isn't her job, but you'll think with her clearly being an official she would have done something. Seemed to take a while for the bloke to come over and shield Charles, but at least he was effective. He looked a bit too old to be police protection team.
