Royal funeral

Post by Jim »

Does anyone know what the arrangements are for the sad upcoming funeral of the Princess? Do we know the dates and the likely extent of the shut down in town?

The effect on the general public regarding regarding closures etc, does not appear to be very clear.

As a farang bar owner/vested interest all I can say is if the bars have to close thats just respect...she was a good woman and maybe we should close....

that closure I dont mind

a closure for yet another corrupt government election vote buying session, local or national, I do. Sod them....they are scum one and all.

the two are vastly different.

I hope wherever she ended up she walks in the grace of and with the love of god..... :cheers:
