I....

Well I wouldn't go even if they asked me! ..would rather have a kebab & dvd night!

Please ignore this as much as my original thread, I'm stuck between two browsers and my life has become very complicated.

...don't know....

.....to reply.....

Nothing could endear me to the Thickie Twins but I must congratulate you on longest thread title ever

Why do we still have have posts such as Mayors and High Sheriffs etc? In this day and age i reckon the Govt could save money by doing away with appointments like these. What good are they only a drain on economic resources of this country.

Why have birds of prey and pigeons?

As I mentioned elsewhere, I do love a bit of pantomime. In the great game of things, Tis a bit of inexpensive fun.

We dont pay for them.

Thanks Prom, but I didn't mean it hence my desperate get out thread.

This one! 

Another useless thread????

There's a story in my mother's family that a long time ago one of her descendants was the butcher for the Royal family. As a result he and his descendants were automatically allowed to attend the Lord Mayor's Banquet.

I am not about to find out if I would still be permitted to attend as I wouldn't want to go, and in any case I could find myself being taken off to the Tower of London

Not been on for a bit so reading thru. I saw on the news this banquet, and felt sick at the money this would have cost. I dont think there was any need for this.Well done Cologne for bringing this issue up, and dont apologise

I used to work near the Mansion House...mike oldfield once gave a free lunchtime concernt that was full of city types...was good.
