Charles Coronation Saturday 6th May 2023
 

No bank holiday :pipe:

Archie’s Birthday :pipe:

Is it not a bank holiday???, I thought it would be :conf:.

it said the queens coronation took 3 hours .... thats crazy :laugh:

Tight lot.
Not to make a new longer Bank holiday weekend.

Good keep the economy going. Id cancel another 2 bank holidays and call them a celebration of work days where we could all go in early and stay late so that will give business a shot in the arm.

Then we can introduce the 1 day weekend once every month. Trial in Eire first to gauge the positives.

:dance:

Its a Saturday.

Also King Charles is aware of the Hard Times
many are suffering
hence making it Short.

Oh I just realised, it's a Saturday of course NO bank holiday .

No Joey
the World and the UK
are in Hard Times.


Many Cafe's are closing down
very sadly.

I think they'll still do a bank holiday - move the early May one to the Monday after and add a bank holiday to Friday

4 days of celebration

The moaning that went on because there was a bank holiday for the Queens funeral I won’t be surprised if there isn’t any

That sounds good to me :dance::cheer2:

Anything to avoid being a grandparent to these kids.

King Charles to sell
the Queens Racehorse.................

Au contraire as they will be invited naturally and its a great opportunity to spend time with their grandpa and cousins :love:

Charles isn't well liked, he is in the honeymoon period at the moment, it's only going downhill from here. I fully expect louder voices coming soon on ending the monarchy

There is Now

Can only hope for covid to come back a do a good job at this point.

The King's staff are set to receive a bonus payment of up to £600 to help them with the cost of living crisis.

The Sun newspaper reported that the bonuses - to be paid on top of this month's salary to workers including cleaners - would amount to tens of thousands of pounds and would come from the King's private income.

Staff earning less than £30,000 will receive a single payment of £600, with staff earning more getting less.

Buckingham Palace declined to comment.

The BBC understands no taxpayers' money is being used and the bonus is being paid from the King's Privy Purse.

This is the money from a private estate known as the Duchy of Lancaster, which covers 18,000 hectares of land. It includes land in areas including Lancashire and Yorkshire, as well as property in central London. The Duchy of Lancaster usually makes a profit of about £20m a year.

That makes sense
in my view.

Well i think its very kind of him and i'm sure the staff will appreciate the gesture.

Happy Birthday to King Charles. 74 today.

What a shame that his best friend, Jimmy Saville isn't here to see it.

I bet he tried to get the 3 Degrees to perform for him

A man charged with breach of the peace after the Duke of York was heckled during the Queen's funeral procession will not face court.

Footage showed a man shouting at Prince Andrew as he followed the coffin up Edinburgh's Royal Mile in September.

The 22-year-old was pulled out of the crowd by two bystanders and was later arrested and charged.

The case has now been dealt with "by way of an offer of an alternative to prosecution".

The Crown Office, Scotland's prosecution service, said it was not able to advise what this alternative was but it can include fines or community work orders.

A Crown Office spokesman said: "The procurator fiscal received a report concerning a 22-year-old male in connection with an alleged incident on 12 September.

"After full and careful consideration of all facts and circumstances, the case was dealt with by way of an offer of an alternative to prosecution."

I hope Putin nukes it.

No, that would cause a WW3

I'll buy a Coronation Chicken sandwich on the day to celebrate. ;)

Money donated in memory of Queen Elizabeth is being given by King Charles to a charity helping people unable to pay their fuel bills.

Buckingham Palace has not revealed the amount, but the Fuel Bank Foundation is being given funds donated when the late Queen died in September.

The charity provides vouchers for pre-payment meters for gas and electricity.

Matthew Cole, head of the charity, said it would provide respite from the "energy and cost of living crisis".

In the wake of the late Queen's death, there were financial contributions as well as many letters of condolence sent to the Royal Family.

That money, according to royal sources, is now being handed over to help people who are unable to pay for heat, light and power in their homes.
