Neither of those matters are political. They let z list celebrities spout off about it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rock The Boat 1,330 Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) It sounds really odd on the ear to hear the commentators talking about 'the King'. It sounds like a throwback to the second world war. I haven't got used to it yet. Edited September 10, 2022 by Rock The Boat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Load of Squit 5,161 Posted September 10, 2022 With all this talk of name changes due to the change in monarch why didn't we become the United Queendom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland in 1952? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I must admit when I've heard King Charles being said on the TV my mind has just wanted to add Spaniel 🙂 Shows how conditioned the mind is. I'm sure we will become used to it very soon.

I had a similar moment when someone mentioned that a lawyer who was a QC now becomes a KC, and my mind automatically added " and the Sunshine Band" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want a King but as the monarchy exists I think its unfair that he is having to take it on in his mid 70s. The Queen should have abdicated 10 years ago. The Queen did promise to the people/us that she would be Queen her entire life to be fair . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
