I think my blog page title should answer that. Was in the big smoke today on business, and it was deserted. Very few people about, little evidence of forthcoming celebrations this weekend (although I was in the city). No sign of the Jubilee spirit. Other than flags in the odd shop window. I should say well done to Liz, 60 years is a damn fine innings. It looks like rain will dampen the celebrations this weekend a tad, I wonder how many people will come out for event? The flotilla could be impressive, might not see that again for a while. let's hope the public pay genuine respect to the years of service to our nation. I Hope so. And in an atypical mood for Mr Cynical here, let's hope we hear nothing from naysayers saying the Queen costs us £70m a year to "keep", when it is estimated Liz+co brings in £30Bn a year in tourism to the UK.
Me? What am I up to this soggy bank holiday weekend? Well I have been invited to watch some fast cars slide around Silverstone in the rain and sub zero (comparatively) temperatures, so in search of some fresh air (admittedly tainted with racing fuel) and company, I will be there on Sunday.Blancpain-endurance-series . Looking forward to it .
I will raise a glass to Liz though when there. Well done ma'am .
Olympics. Think that one deserves it's own post.Shortly.
