Who or what do you blame for the nations general apathy towards the Royal wedding?

[magoo]

Is it a prime example of 'broken Britain'?

Why don't we have national pride anymore? Too many foreigners? Crap national football team?

apathy? i think theres a lot of interest. i wouldnt judge the nation by what NSC thought two months ago.

 

[Stoo82]

I learned long ago that NSC does not represent what the nation thinks. Far from it.

 

[magoo]

No i think there's general disinterest. I work with many people and i don't know any that are actually looking forward to it. Looking forward to the time off yes, but not the wedding.

At the end of the day you have to blame Adkins.

 

[daveinprague]

If youre abroad and Sky tv is your reference point, you would think that the UK is in fact obsessed with this wedding.

 

[Commander]

There will still be thousands and thousands of people lining the streets in London tomorrow, I think a lot of people do have an interest in it.

 

[Simster]

Because people have finally woken up to the fact that fawning to a bunch of extremely wealthy spongers is laughable?

Incidentally, how much is it all costing, you know, what with CMD about to slash spending on doctors, nurses and teachers? I see 2,000 military are taking part too. I thought we didn't have the money to equip them properly?

 

[daveinprague]

I think maybe the media overkill is putting people off, rather than anything else. Im sure theres plenty interested, but the media seems to think that it has to cover every angle. Saw some bloke parading a succession of wedding dresses the other day as the style of dresses the new princess will 'possibly' wear...

shit, I didnt get clearance from disco suit boy to post... apologies.

'Broken Britain?'

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

the royal family..... the last time we went nuts was for Lady Dis and look what happened to that. The Royal Family no longer instills pride because it doesn't stand for anything anymore. They relinquished that themselves when they stopped being examples to the rest of us.


Just as well maybe.

She was UTTER FILTH though, and proof of the "the madder the woman, the better in bed she is" adage.

I blame the media. Honestly thought the couple might have attempted a quieter do, but as he's our future king, s'pose that was never going to happen. Mind you, we all know what happened to the marraige of our other future king !!
Will there be the same ballyhoo when the Queen's grand-daughter gets splice to an England rugby player later this year, doubt it.

Youve obviously had more experience with her than me... all I got was a grope.

Both of the above

the last couple of weeks, all we heard from our American friends was how much they were looking forward to the wedding, in fact two people we met worked for CNN and they were sending a team to london bigger than that sent to cover the Iraq War!

Maybe people just want some good news and respite from the constant doom and gloom in the papers?

I think this is quite true, its being crammed down our throats day in day out to the point of banality as they've run out of things to say. I don't have a problem with the wedding itself, as I think its something Britian does well, pomp and ceremony, but the pathetic hyping by the media means I won't be paying it any attention.

Depends on where you live, it's buzzing down here in Lyme Regis and has been since Tuesday. We f***ing love a bit of pomp and ceremony down here.
