Subject: RE: BS: Wonderful Jubilee celebrations
Spot on Suibhne.
I did volunteer to help with the jubilee celebrations in our village despite not being a monarchist. This was because I believe that real, living communities are a good thing for both the people that live in them and wider society, and many people from across the board came together for a couple of days, and I wanted to do my small part for the good of my community.
Mind you, I didn't toast Brenda, and I didn't sing that godawful national anthem, or wear the butcher's apron in any shape or form. I did drinks lots of rather good cider. I quietly gave a thought to Wistanley and my ancestors.
