Wasn't it about now?

Just trying to remember when to pause for the minute's silence...... or the minute's non-posting, at least..........

Re: Wasn't it about now?
I'm probably going to upset people now, but I do think that reactions are excessive. It was sad that a young woman with 2 children died, but at the time, and especially now, I am amazed at the sheer quantity of news coverage.
I was sailing in the English Channel trying to find a weather forecast when I heard. It was the only thing on every channel & we had to radio the coastguard for a damn weather forecast.

The monarchy is a total irrelevance - I'd privatise them into a tourism company if it were left to me.

Re: Wasn't it about now?
You seem to have missed the whole point about Diana...she was not a traditional monarchist by choice,but one of the people and with more goodness in her heart than the entire population of Dubai IMHO.

I don't want to upset people who are genuinely moved & want to pay their respescts. She did cut a flawed & tragic figure, full of good intentions.
