I think for the wedding of Diana and Charles there was a public holiday. Will we have one for William too?

That'd be good if we did.

Do want!


My wife & mother in law are meeting the queen today, wonder if it'll be mentioned (seriously)!

More importantly who is going to pay for this?

You, better start saving now.

Think an extra public holiday is more important than the wedding itself for a lot of us!

I don't mind chucking in a couple of quid if it gets me an extra day off of work next year.

True story.

What have they done to deserve this honour?

Yeah, good point, I hate taking time off of work. I am going to work through Christmas this year.

Picking up an MBE I was going to post a thread with a pic later when they get back (I'm on babysitting duty ).

If this is being funded by the tax payer then there bloody well better be a public holiday.

I know somebody who went, there are usually celebrities or famous people as well. Ask if they mention anybody.

What's wrong with having a holiday?

The UK doesn't have that many public holidays anyway compared to a lot of countries.

A lot of us here work damned hard - so I don't get your point?

A public holiday for a wedding seems daft though - a public holiday for St George's day would be more fitting IMO.

Awesome!

good news all round, will bring in loads of cash into the economy and local businesses

day off work - bonus

I'm happy for the tax I pay to go towards this, not as if we moan about the money that the royals earn us in tourism - two way street and all that

I'm looking forward to a Royal Wedding. It'll be a nice occasion.

Great stuff. Do post something later on.

The expected female reaction to the news. “Isn’t that lovely.”
