Current Affairs Her majesty the Queen

[Alan Whittle]

Apparently it's starting to get a bit nasty in the "holding pen" - reports of middle class "gangs" grouping together and mocking people with distinct regional accents for being working class.

They're saying there should be a different holding pen for people from the north and those who earn around or below minimum wage.

One poor woman from Birmingham had Givenchy parfum sprayed on her and was told to "sod off back down the M1 stinky" - and "come back when it's Markle's turn"

So much for the camaraderie eh?

Any Londoner would know it was “ sod off back up the M1”.

….I like Beckham, football mattered to him & clearly other things matter to him.

I think people are crazy to queue for that long. It really baffles me but it is up to them.

I agree about Beckham. I bet he could have pulled a few strings to get in quick. Fair play to him for joining the queue like everyone else.

Apparently he caused major problems in the queue as people tried to get pics with him.

A true "daddy or chips?" moment and no mistake.

People going on about how the Brotish do these things so we'll.
What? Create a huge inefficient queue?
People like this guy understand about doing things well.

That’s great ?.

I was thinking of another, cheaper solution, something that can be implemented immediately. Why don’t they put the coffin on a trolley, and just wheel it back along the queue? Saves people the hassle of actually walking as well. Mourners can just wait for the trolley to arrive.

I’ve even done the maths, the queue is currently 5 miles long, so walking the trolley at an average speed of a very achievable 2.5 miles an hour means everyone currently in the queue will see ol’ Liz within just 2 hours.

I queued for 12 hours for a Cup Final ticket in 1990.

I queued 6 once for an emergency replacement passport. That was mad stress.

Fair play to Beckham who could have probably got to the front if he asked. Decided to go at 2am and queue for 12 hours.
Then you have Holly and Philip Scofield who didn’t want to wait with the plebs so went to the front of the queue.

They will be up the backsides of the plebs next week though, when they need them to ring into their show.

That happened?

should probably shoot all the birds too, there will be enough rifles there.

Yes, particularly as there was no Cup Final at the end of it presumably?

Absolutely, just a holiday with my in-laws

Well, this ought to make the funeral service a bit more interesting:
