incidentally, did anyone see any street parties? i was up in glasgow yesterday (buying my partick thistle season ticket and going to kelvingrove, tennents and the laurieston) where apparently there was very little activity (apparently not even any orange marches) and there was nothing round Lancaster (witcherypopery) way (well, one house with some bunting) i'm not disputing there were big crowds (of royalty in gangs?) in Londlon but is there any evidence that the extent of support for that creaky institution may be well short of the amount suggested by the media? Hope so.
