Pimms sales skyrocketed at my store.

Amusingly people refused to buy them from the off-license.

As a republican (definately not in the US sense) I find the whole thing tiresome. I am simply avoiding TV for the duration. It is a free day off I suppose but being in the military there are various catches.

There are actually quite a few republicans in the military, this massive waste of time, money and resources seems to have brought us out of the woodwork

Funny you should mention that...
Apparently more than one county has built a boat in honour of the occasion...

As to me, working most of it sadly, and then off to specsavers on Tuesday so the boys can get their eyes checked. A stunning few days.

I do appreciate the event though, think the village is having a big gathering on Tuesday in the main park, and they did a 'its a knockout' paraody yesterday at the sports field. Oh and at least we got some gold old british weather.

As a Yank, I would love to see the pomp and circumstance involved in a Jubilee. I find it interesting that all the inbreeding in the monarchy has created such long lived queens. Elizabeth II is about to outpace Victoria for longest reign...

It's not the same on TV, too impersonal. To feel the press of the crowd, see the horses coming by, to smell the smells... that is what I wish to see, to be there in person. For some reason Great Britain has always fascinated me. One of these days I will get there to see all the things I want to see in person. Maybe I will even figure out why Leeds Castle isn't in Leeds.

If you ever do make it over, bring clothes for every season since our weather likes to keep us on our toes

Also, we ensure that all monuments are as far away as possible from the places/things they are named after to confuse tourists and people who want to buy our bridges to ship over to America
