Title: working royal wedding day?
Post by: LWC on April 25, 2011, 07:04:34 pm
I considered it as you may have seen my post other day, but i do think its going to be a day off.

Seems it is a pretty big thing, cant see anyone appreciating us turning up on Friday.

I've got a factory unit I might clean in the morning, but in the early afternoon I'm having to endure some 'forced fun' with the company of my street.   :'(

Got a carpet job to do at a big accountants office block. But would still do our Brit custies on Friday if we needed to. I think most aren't really interested in the wedding.
Maybe it's different in UK?

When Chas & Di got married, my friends and I went fishing with loads of lager and homegrown. Never saw a second of the wedding and it didn't harm me. With this one I will taqke my wife and my youngest on a long country walk and get back for a bbq after it's all finished. I'm sorry, but I have no interest in thr royals at all.

I did better than that for Chas and Di's one.  I was sitting (lounging) in an Amsterdam milk bar, doing what people do in milk bars, when another long haired hippy switched on the TV set in there.  I vaguely remember a bit of some wedding or another before going back to sleep.
I did do some work today.  Not a great deal really but that's because I didn't fancy it rather than because it was a public holiday.  The second job I went to the woman mentioned that she was a royalist.  I wondered what was coming next but she said how delighted she was that I had turned up to clean her windows as she was throwing a BBQ later on.  So after breathing a sigh of relief I carried on cleaning  :)

I worked as planned yesterday.

Where I live and work (Medway Towns in Kent) I didn't see a single street party yesterday, but saw a total of 4 flags. They were all attached to the same car, a classic Mini.  ;D
