Royal Wedding April 2011

[TheOtherHalf]

Is anyone on here organising a street or house party for this event. We are hoping to do a theme day in our work canteen.

Any suggestions for meals, deserts or cakes would be appreciated. Thanks

I think we get an extra day off for this dont we ?

No - I'll be as far away from this circus as I can manage.

29 april is the additional bank holiday for 2011.

i would suggest roasted swan, or cockentrice.

the day off chimes in with May Day (about to be abolished) and Easter to give you quite a long stretch off if you happen to be ill for a day or two.

I may dance around a handbag to celebrate.

I shall be down in Dorset for a hen weekend...... OMG. There is going to be zorbing (more broken limbs), kareoke and plentiful alcohol.

Much better than a royal wedding anyday ;-)

[what..the?]

ive been invited to a wedding on the same day, but i dont like weddings

victoria sandwich, queens pudding?

[TheOtherHalf]

I too think its all a bit over the top but you are expected to do these things in catering as its a change from the usual and stops you getting bored with your job.
I dont usually work Fridays but may be asked to come in on OTime so thats a bonus.

I didnt know May Day was about to be taken away. What a swizz, give in one hand and take with the other. Typical

What on earth is a cockentrice. I dont think we will be allowed roasted swan. Only the Queen is allowed to eat them isnt she. Wouldnt want one anyway

Thanks for the suggestions. Any others will be appreciated.

Jno that isn't confirmed though is it (May day abolished) They haven't even put it through parliament yet, havethey?

I'm saving up to buy them a wedding present.
What do you think I should but them ?
I have switched the heating off and will walk to work to save on petrol costs.
They all do so much for the country. So it seems only right that I should buy them something nice. I however don't feel worthy to even watch the wedding on tv.

LOL sirandy that is class I really did LOL

you're right, Davethedog, it's only at the proposal stage, so I was premature. The idea is to give us a day off in autumn instead - one with less of a socialist history, presumably, and one not shared with the rest of Europe, though I don't know how that will make international trade easier. I don't specially want a "Trafalgar Day" off in October as it gets cold and the leaves start to fall, but perhaps others like the idea.

I think it is a good idea to abolish May Day. We have so may bank holidays close together it would be a good idea to spread them out a bit. The middle of Autumn would be a good time to have it.
