Not me , I dont wear white socks 😁

Certainly not me, unless some low life's nicked my Sideboards  .

I only wish I 'could' show a picture of my  (tailor made) Union Jack Drape Jacket with matching Union Jack Brothel Creepers.

(Royal Blue rolled Velvet Collar 🤣)

The George Cox Creepers are the ones that were part of 'Pippy's widow display for years.

 

Rock on  .

 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend your Majesty.

Many people think it was a good use of public resources,

why not just enjoy the pageantry , it will make you happier than moaning.

While I don't wear leather myself, it is hardwearing and lasts longer than most substitutes. Cows are domestic animals and not in short supply. Their hides are another product of the slaughtering process and as we have not reached total vegitarianism yet, let alone veganism, slaughtering still continues.  

 

Bearskins are different. Bears are wild, and rarer than some other animals and have to be hunted. And as far as I'm aware not commonly eaten by a vast section of the population. Bears are killed mainly for the fur trade. Busbies are not worn on the battlefield but for ceremonial duties and alternatives are cheaper, lighter, cooler and almost imperceptable from the real thing.

 

I do appreciate your point though.

 

 

 

 

What do you think about mice being killed in mouse traps because they are a nuisance or insects killed ?

these are still animals but do not seem to get the sympathetic attention as bears.

Because it is part of being British of which most people are proud,

If you dont know what we are celebrating then you lead a sheltered life . Have you not seen the news ?

I’ve seen what is apparently being celebrated - but I don’t know what there is to celebrate?

 

What am I supposed to be happy about?

Pick spots if that keeps you happy.

If you think this little country is anything other than Great  that's your prerogative in this free land.

 

Her Majesty looks a tad bored to be honest, she’s probably more focused on studying the form in The Racing Post prior to the Derby on Saturday.
