I got home at 10.45am in good time for the funeral and looked out over a sunlight Malvern Hills. I thought of the Queen's duty and decency and resolved to try harder myself. Thats all sounds about as far away from me as the Queen herself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you chose to start that new-found dedication to public service by going straight home, firing up the laptop and whinging at people on the internet who weren't being reverential enough? 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither poster said that they cut the grass in the hope it would provoke someone. Maybe it just needed doing and the garden waste bin is being collected tomorrow? The issue here isn't the person mowing their lawn, be it because it needed it/they'd usually go to the pub on a BH but wanted to avoid a funeral being on the tele/they'd usually go to the shops/they simply wanted to do something constructive with their day, the issue is someone taking umbrage with them doing so simply because it happened to be someone's funeral miles from where they live. Based on that we would never do anything would we. Edited September 19, 2022 by markavfc40 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt do gardening to annoy folk, I did it cos it needed doing. I was busy all day Saturday doing stuff for other folk, I was knackered on Sunday because of that so I used today to finish the rest of the stuff that needed doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sat in Ledbury rugby club and listened to numerous men your age making sexual comments about teenage girls playing rounders there without anyone blinking an eye. A truly fitting town for a royal tribute. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
