TBH most people will be sat in the corner sobbing over the enforced mourning period when all the tv channels are playing the same tributes on a loop for x weeks and all the streaming services and sports competitions have been closed down as a sign of respect

All the fancy cake were eaten this weekend
Bread and circuses
Let them eat toast.
It'll be a bad day when the queen dies - because it'll be another enforced non-working day for self-employed like me.
Commiserations and all that but it will cost me.
Free cake won't compensate for that.
Will I be able to ride my bike?
No! Horse riding only and just the fancy dancing type (dressage?) as a sign of respect or something.
Free cake won’t compensate for that.

I'm no Royalist, my first fight with my family was refusing to wave the flag when HRM drove past on her way to dish out Maundy Money in Ripon Cathedral.

Well they weren't very happy when we provided them with Queen Victoria's grandson.
Typical Germans...... always miserable about something.
