Its strange, I have managed to avoid most of the competitive grief & over the top fawning on the tv and radio this past week or so but if I do catch a glimps of it, people in black clothing with serious looking faces keep telling me "the whole country is in mourning"
In the past week I have been on holiday to North Wales, called in numerous shops, garden centres, pubs & restarurants, been in around 6 different antique shops, stood a stall on a antiques fair, walked around that fair stopping at numerous stalls to chat with the sellers, been in around 3 petrol stations, spoken to around 8 different people on the phone, & I can honestly say not once has the queens death been mentioned?
Is "The whole country" really in mourning?
