Chelsea-Liverpool, United-Leeds, Brighton-Palace all off, rest of the games on (pg 128)

Now they’re trying to say they don’t have enough tv trucks

Yep, my first bank account was from one of those. Just NatWest left and it’s not even on the corner!

And mine. I was in Williams and Glyn’s. Don’t hear much about them these days.

I can’t help but feel this out pouring of grief that is being projected around the world is part of a bigger thing.

We all know the royal family is part of ‘brand’ Great Britain. Let’s face it, people travel here to see Buckingham Palace and the idea of the Queen is an almost Disney like treasure to people.

I’m out the country for a week in Greece and the first thing that was mentioned to us on arrival at the hotel was the queen…

If Britain as a whole is not seen by the rest of the world to value the passing of such a figure with a mental outpouring of grief then it devalues the whole thing. If we don’t care then why should anybody else?

We’ve lost pretty much everything of our own identity thanks to the tory party / brexit over the last decade, and are largely an international laughing stock.

The Queen is / was one of the last part of this countries identity that remained intact.

For what it’s worth, i think the whole thing is laughably ridiculous, a hilarious sign of the times of morons trying to out ‘grieve’ one another publicly. Almost North Korea levels of mourning.

The more I think about the fa decision to postpone this weekend football the more it pisses me off.

The hardship this has caused business that relie on matchday trade. The people employed on a casual basis. The fans who have lost money on bus/train fares even plane fares !.

If this weekend games are moved to midweek than some fans will have the hassle of selling or cancelling their tickets. Knowing the fa it will be rearranged on a train strike !

The fa really dont understand the amount of people involved in matchdays.

I would like to know why the fa felt they had to be different to nearly every other sport. If its because they were worried about a minute silence not being observed, how dare they class all fans the same.

Why didnt the fa postponed the matches that they thought it might happen. Why postponed my local under 8' from even training. Its fucking ridicules.

I am really pissed off with this.

Ah but all those apparatchiks at the FA and PL will have had their name in the frame for Charlie's New Year's Honours list! They'd have been blacklisted if they had gone ahead and disrespected his beloved Mama Failing to get a gong next time, they will have their Summer holiday booked around a Buckingham Palace garden party

And mine. I was in Williams and Glyn’s. Don’t hear much about them these days.

They were more or less swallowed up by royal bank of Scotland, if I remember rightly.

 

[Gazza]

They wheeled Bernie Ecclestone out earlier to tell us he once got in a car driven by the queen.

Went to great lengths to tell us what an “excellent” driver she was and qualified his opinion by saying she “even indicated at all the right times”.

What an unbelievable human being.

Was it a getaway car?

 

[Gazza]

Wrong decision for me, how can we mourn respectively and watch football?

Hopefully they ban any form of cheering.

VAR does that already.

 

[heslops barnet]

And mine. I was in Williams and Glyn’s. Don’t hear much about them these days.

Previously known as Williams Decons?

 

[stonerblue]

Yes, but you just spoiling the fun of those that like things without any context so they can rage against it.

Plenty of my customers asking if we are open, expecting a busy day.

Cafe, coffee shop, restaurant, pub?

 

[stonerblue]

People just don’t need branches anymore.

they do.
