But then my area is very much like Nathan in being very pro-royals.

Not that I'm saying that there's anything wrong with being pro-royals.

I am sure it’s not your intention, but I’m beginning to feel you are treating me like a fool, who has no knowledge of anything outside that of my immediate environment.
I know a lot of people in different parts of the UK, I travel across the country a lot and I follow current affairs closely. There was also an immense amount of television and news coverage, and I can honestly say that I have never heard any other person suggest that any part of the country seemed as if it was in lockdown during the pandemic, in the days following the Queen’s passing.

Perhaps you selected the wrong choice of wording in saying it was as if the whole country was in ‘lockdown’ as that suggests people being very isolated, unable to leave their homes, unable to socialise with others and everything being closed, and it wasn’t anything like that. You also suggested it was the whole country, when perhaps it was just a small, rural area where you live, rather than the reality of the country in general.
