I sure the income would provide a couple on months of food,clothing and shelter to the mob of losers who dislike anything beyond their lazy gain.
Leave the royal family out of this. |

Normally I can follow you, but eh?
I'm being flippant, but it seems we are giving up pubs in droves (to stay in). I'd say it was the 'pub' culture that gave us our identity.  |

Ah...the scales have fallen from my eyes...got it.
Your're right, up to a point. What the village pub offered was a meeting point, a focal point, if you will, for the people to gather to spread the word.
Church on Sunday, and pub the rest of the week. That was back in the day of course.
Nowadays the Church isn't used so much, and pubs seem to be used for just getting bladdered as quickly as possible.
I'm not sure if we gave them up, or the big corporates took them from us....
But I'm still not sure if that was one of things that made US great. Lot's of other countries drank in village pubs as well.

Ah well, that'll be ok then, it depends on what YOU think, fair enough.
Ah..now we're getting to it...what have we given up that actually made US great?

Back on topic, engaged in November and married by April..... Hmm.. I take it that Wills and 'our Kate' will be announcing a new arrival shortly after the wedding? |

They don't always go for long marriages either! |
