You may have noticed that I haven’t mentioned the Diamond Jubilee much yet. This is because it has been an absolute nightmare for me at work. The supermarket has been determined to commemorate the occasion by earning at least ten million pounds for every year of Her Majesty’s reign. They are doing this by selling unbelievably cheap tat at extraordinary prices and pressurising the gullible paying public into buying them. Honestly - the shit we’re churning out in our “Special Jubilee” aisle is almost embarrassing. There’s old junky garden banners in there that have been rotting away in the warehouse for years. Just because we’ve slapped a sticker of the Queen on the packaging they’re flying off the shelves like they’re freebies. And they’re fifteen quid each. And they’re mostly being bought by old folk who normally forego buying toilet rolls and apples just so their cat ‘can have some Friskies this week‘. Silly, silly people.
I didn’t watch much of the Jubilee Pageant stuff but I have to say Princess Catherine looked good enough to eat. Can I be charged with treason for saying I fancy our future Queen? I don’t care, I think it’s something to be proud of. It’s certainly better than saying I fancy our current Queen (no offence intended, ma’am)
