Not necessarily.

I would expect adults to be able to satisfy their own curiosity without asking hundreds of inane questions.

 

Give it a try.

Some people answer questions.

I would like to know how much is has cost the Tax payer for Helicopter fuel for car watching, since Truss's journey from Northolt to London then Charles now moving the Queen, its riduclous.

A stupid and offensive joke at that.

 

Fortunately the Queen didn't go rushing of to a Human Rights Commission, over each personal insult she received.

 

As Aussie Bruce said, "She's a fine Sheila, an not at all stack ap!"

Do we need to show some respect and cancel work, just like football has been cancelled?

Well you have surprised me . I had a bet with myself on which poster would be the first to complain “ how much is all this costing the taxpayers  ? “  . I lost

You have to admit all this pomp and ceremony must be costing a bomb.

 

I don't think people begrudge the queen a fitting state funeral, or Charles a splendid Coronation; these are once in a lifetime events, but for example, the herald thing was a bit of antiquated expensive nonsense, and the extent of all the protocols and other expensive Royal traditions IMO are over the top, particularly at a time of national hardship, and exactly what Charles was supposed to be slimming down (as well as the personnel.) 

 

Basically it just seems to be about giving the men in grey suits something to do. If it's all basically propaganda to cement Charles and the Monarchy into the Nation's consciousness, it's having the opposite effect on me. And we have 10 days of it.

And there was I feeling all warm and sentimental....
