The Coronation Fun-And-Games went off without a hitch over the weekend. I have to say that not many people bothered to sit and watch the whole palaver on the big screens in our bars, but the afternoon tea was very well attended yesterday. It's amazing how many more people will show up to something when you're providing free food and drink.
I didn't watch much of Saturday's ceremony myself. Any time I did have a look, though, it seemed to be exactly the same thing happening - loads of overdressed people sitting in a big church with a very loud choir singing some very old-fashioned hymns. Not quite my idea of ideal weekend entertainment.
I don't understand why a lot of the public got so offended by the whole thing. Well, actually, I think I do. We live in an age where everyone thinks their opinion is the only thing that matters on Earth, and if something doesn't happen exactly to their tastes then they bitch and moan about it online.
But I'm not going to go on about that now, or I'll be no better than they are. Plus - it is a beautiful, glorious, sunny Spring morning and I don't want to tarnish that with blog-based bad-moodedness. Plus, we have a lot of bunting to start taking down....
