I was in Thailand when the last king died. The whole pro-longed ceremonial event was something else. The King's funeral procession along the Chao Praya river was, in particular, eerily magnificent. Can't we just settle for having the best football league in the world, the best health service in the world, the best television service in the world, the best fish and chips in the world and all the many other things we are constantly being told we are best at? As for ceremonies like today? We compete with the best, but let's not get carried away. Edited September 19, 2022 by BroadstairsR 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is right about the cancelled operations bit, I don't agree with that, not when this funeral is costing £100m whilst people who have been on waiting lists for years have had letters informing that they are going back on that list. He's wrong about schools though, if mummy and daddy have a day off then they can look after their own kids. Apart from keyworkers, of course, they should be open for their kids.
