So, Who's doing what to celebrate Liz's 60th

What does a dyslexic Yorkshire man wear on his head ?

A Cat Flap.

I'm personally fed up with it because

1) its not a Monday holiday here so I am at work Monday off tuesday. My son is at school for Monday , then off tuesday and then back in. My wife is not allowed either day off. Again her company is giving English staff both days off but has prohibited scottish staff from even using annual leave to take either day off..

Monday is a substitute day off for the English Spring Bank holiday.

Take the matter up with your Messiah

Falls in the middle of 8 straight days at work. Woot.

My missus will be on one of the boats providing tv coverage, however. She'll be chuffed it's peeing down

The mighty Alex, clearly failing miserably trying to do an impression of England’s finest, Winston Churchill

Never have the words ’close but no cigar’ had such a literal meaning

Cast your vote shortly and us holidaying, Jubilee swinging English with our mass shrinking economy will be nothing but a distant memory in the minds of aging Scots. Who needs us English anyway?

Oh it's a swingers' party? I see. :lol:

Local authorities control local holidays not the FM so I need to take this up with the labour party then?

I'm surprised that your son is going to school on Monday as for many schools it is half-turn this week.

Someone really should have given that flag a good ironing before hanging it

Perhaps not in Scotland

An English man wanders into a bar in Greenock and asks for a Lager & Lime.

The barman responds "We don't serve cocktails here laddie"

[MudPuppy]

We've got the Monday and Tuesday off - we had to vote for whether we wanted Tuesday off or not, and there was 1 vote in it. We had to either take it has holiday or work extra hours for it though (not that it's ever a problem in my job to do extra hours). Any excuse for a day off work gets my vote!

I'm not doing anything for the jubilee, except I'm watching the boats on TV.

Bit late for half term here, summer holidays start at the end of June.

Just flicking channels on TV and found Sky Arts 1 (Virgin ch 281) is showing Queen all day.

[domhnall]

Personally I feel sorry for the Queen, I mean she must be thinking "they had a million pounds to spend on a present and they bought me.... A barge." it's not a huge mark of respect really is it? :-)

Just think how big a cigar Alex could buy with that!

[domhnall]

Brian have you got some sort of size obsession? Has no one ever told you.....? :lol:

It was a bit of a squeeze

I hope some loonatic does not try to swim in front of the Royal Barge, serious risk of getting machine gunned.

oh, I dunno, it might liven up an otherwise dull spectacle of boats floating!

Liz ascended to the throne upon her fathers death, so has been queen 60 years. Just formalities done the year after.

So the Celebrations should have been 6th Febuary as her Father died on this date in 1952.

Her Coronation was in 1953

So how is the weather down south? Sunny all day here, a wee bit windy but very sunny.

HRH is freezing her crown jewels off, hope she doesnt catch pneumonia.

Mind you if she did that would be another day off work.
