FFS just stay in bed for the day if you don't want to watch it. It's the future King of the United Kingdom getting wed and there hasn't been such an event for THIRTY YEARS. If it affects your life so badly, (you grumpies who seem to detest the Royals so much,) then turn off the telly and radio for that ONE DAY.
Plus I am sure there will be OTHER channels without coverage, like on satellite,. (And I am SURE most of the 'Royal whingers' on here have got satellite.) Put something ELSE on and let people enjoy it who aren't msierable Royal family haters! Jeeez, what is the MATTER with people?! Lighten up FFS!

f*ck it
im british
i'll have a sneaky look
diana and chuck-well i did the front of our house up-stayed awake all night to make sure no one tugged at me bunting lol
my ma and pa were very proud of me
but i dont think the same pride exists anymore for the royals
theyve always been a bit dodgy-but in the olden days they got away with it
I will deffo be watching - an in and out thing - not glued all day but I'll be watching.
Wait--you guys get the day OFF?? 
wonder if *I* do?

Lori, It's a load of old bollix...The queens grandson is getting married,it seems that's important for some in this country.I suspect as far as our government is concerned it takes the heat off them for a week or so.To the barricades comrades! ..
..
I am looking forward to it ..I like William
Lori, I disagree with Katty TOTALLY, (about it being all bollocks..) but then I am a huge Royal family fan. People seem to be divided on here, but in my world of work colleagues and neighbours and family and friends, we're all very excited, because as someone said earlier, there hasn't been a royal wedding of this magnitude for 30 years. Even Andy and Edward getting married didn't rouse so much fascination and interest... I also have some friends and family overseas across the pond, and they are majorly excited too. I saw on the telly the other day that the Americans are really looking forward to it.
I think Kate is lovely and William is adorable and they make a lovely couple, and I wish nothing but happiness for them both....
And I must admit that it makes me a little sad when people bash the royals, and I think it's a shame that people want to dismiss the whole thing and poo poo it as some pointless ridiculous over hyped event that shouldn't even be happening.... Where I come from, we are all very patriotic and old fashioned and traditional and wouldn't miss it for the world.... I mean it's the future KING getting married, and they are a lovely couple. We are all having a huge bash in my street, with all our neighbours and family, like we did for the Queen's silver jubilee in 1977. There is probably going to be about 100 people, so I hope it doesn't rain as it's going to be outside!
All I can say is that if people don't want to join in and want to close the curtains and switch off the telly and miss it all, then that's up to them; you can't force people to have fun.

I'm not majorly excited but will watch it . And - as I don't work Friday's anyway - I get an extra 5hrs annual leave to make up for "missing" the Bank Hol

......but you'd all still take the holiday, and call it something else while you nose at the telly.....I would
I will wear a dress, white gloves and have a tea party to celebrate
I would have loved to have gone, but unfortunately I'm washing Trollops hair, and when I say hair I actually mean it in the singular. Like this>> - 2

Even Andy and Edward getting married
! I missed that! Is that legal?
I think they are entitled to feel happy about their wedding day and want to share it like we all do. If they hid away in some little church or registry office, people would have their guts for that. Which is it to be?

I agree. I'm quite sure that on a personal level they'd love to slip away and have a fun day with friends and family. He is the future King and obviously has to adhere to protocol............they really can't win.
I'd be a bit more excited at our future king tying the knot if it actually meant something. I mean, King's don't even go out on horses with a great big army nicking other countries any more do they? Modern kings = wimps imvho.
