Baron99 Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 40 minutes ago, Chekhov said: There is an irony here, I am pretty sure the Queen would not have approved of cancelling stuff, esp stuff like Football Matches and Matlock Bath illuminations, because of her death. She was all about British stiff upper lip, keep going, wartime spirit and all that. On the other hand I can see why the Royal Mail strike should have been called off, certainly today's (there's a clue in the name). I'm sure she wouldn't have wanted all today's racing cancelled? There's a number of meetings which won't / can't be rearranged, unlike football matches, so businesses will be out of pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t mean it hasn’t others - Chekhov’s example. i know people who have spent a fortune to got to Plymouth this weekend and that’s been cancelled. My wife is fuming about it, we're trying to see if we can cancel the accommodation as we speak, which will cost the local businesses there..... And, as I said above, I am certain she (the Queen that is) wouldn't want any of this. Edited September 9, 2022 by Chekhov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have liked to have seen her being more 'human being' and less playing a royal role, being all formal, stiff and stuck up etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
