I quite enjoyed some of the early punk music genre and, I'm sure, I still have an original 45 vinyl of "Anarchy in the UK" somewhere upstairs. So I felt the following article is worthy fuel for considerations of how one should celebrate, or not, such events:-

I've never heard it being called that before.

Just looked it up Dbd and the fact that the pub logo depicts the Prince of Wales' feathers bodes well. I shall definitely be visiting.

Hi mate, I want to retract my earlier remark about Regina. I mentioned the sprog works for Global: he's just told me he's going to be their cameraman for C&C's visit (or parts of it). I just hope he doesn't chuck the cam at one or both of them.

Tea & cake is being served at numerous street parties round here, what a day.

Cracked open a bottle of Pimms tonight

May have a few cucumber sandwiches and some cheese and pineapples at some point over the weekend. Feeling a bit left out of all the celebrations I keep reading about on FB etc. Don't even possess a flag to wave

Time for another Pimms, maybe I should hunt out my Siver Jubilee mug I got at primary school to put it in

I had a glass of Pimms last night too. I've invited our neighbours around for Pimms, homemade sausage rolls, cucumber sandwiches, Eton Mess and the most expensive Mr Kiplings Battenberg cake this side of the Atlantic.

Our schools "Diamond Jubilee Party" made front page of the Medicine Hat News, (although not alot of exciting things happen in Medicine Hat!) but am chuffed that it made the paper.
