King Juan Carlos abdicates

I was in Madrid in 1981 when the fella with the funny hat started firing his gun in the Spanish Parliament as part of the failed coup d'état.








Anyone want to buy an early copy of my memoirs?
 
Another Juan bites the dust!!

He is a man of good taste and shares the same favourite restaurant as me in beaufitful Fornells, Es Pla.

Juan Carlos was brave and principled that day. He stood up for democracy at no little risk to himself.

Our Queen won't abdicate. There's no tradition of it on grounds of age here. The Dutch royals do it all the time, they seem to regard it as a career option.

Stepped down from the Spanish throne aged 76 to hand over to his son Prince Felipe. Time for Liz to do the same? Or is the thought of Charles as king too much to take?

Hope not. We are more likely to get time off work if she dies when still on the throne
Nice thought but don't bet on it (if you work regular days).
They'd just have the funeral on the Saturday.

A day of mourning surely? All other countries have these whenever something significant happens.

Was there a donkey in a hat involved?

Yes, but that was in one of those clubs in Amsterdam that I don't know anything about.

Right next door to that cafe that I know nothing about as well?
