Delayed Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 16 minutes ago, Chekhov said: Sorry, I am the only parent to be put out by this ? Is my child the only one not to be educated ? You're taking rubbish of course. One of my wife's friends, not known for annoyance usually, was very ****ed off by this. Esp as she works for the NHS so will not be getting the day off, so who is going to look after her kids ? Grandparents whom are retired, other family members that are enjoying the bank holiday. End of the day who cares whether you or your friend are ****** off. Our Queen has DIED. So for 1 day, I'm sure someone will manage and just be grateful they are *****g alive.

What don't you get about this? I didn't say I didn't get it, I was just pointing out that children, young children especially learn a great deal from play.

And I know a few others who feel the same way Have you seen the crowds in Edinburgh today showing their respects ? Thousands who support the monarchy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not getting it. Very young children cannot be left home alone while to "play" while their parents are out at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them them don't support the monarchy as such, no rational person who sat down and really thought about it would support a hereditary monarchy...most of them just find it a novelty and have bought into the "celebrity" of the Queen and Charles etc, right on their doorstep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your presumption is not based on fact and is ridiculous. I for one have sat down and thought about it and DO support the monarchy. Why don't you think about it in a positive way ? Criticism is easy.

You clearly have no respect otherwise you wouldn't have made the comments you've made. Very touchy. It's best you don't ask your own questions when you don't like answering questions put to you.

Mister M Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I was reading that some people have already started camping out on the streets, so they can get in early to walk past the late Queen's coffin. I get that people feel sad about the Queen's passing, but wanting to see the Queen 'lying in state' feels a bit macabre to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall people paying their last respects to family members who were in an open coffin at their home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
