not really, but since the country will be grinding to a halt anyway we're going to have some folk over and have a breakfast party - what's the harm?! I quite like the big set piece state occasions and I think the British do them best - so I'll be watching. I'm quite happy with the royal family, the tourism money they bring in must more than make up for the cost of the civil list etc. so any arguments against them on cost I don't think stack up....quite happy for constitutional reform, but why not keep the theatre too?
....on a related note happened to pop in Culloden on Saturday while passing through Inverness and stumbled across the 265th anniversary of the battle. It could have been so different , a tactical error to march 26 miles through the night and then fight a battle on no food on a boggy field....
...great new visitor centre there by the way....
