Nordan Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I guess the anthem has to be revised now. We have a King's song, it's God save the Queen modified. It's not our anthem though. We sing it when we're down to get a morale boost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

anagain Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) So wonder if any of the big supermarkets are going to give staff time off next Monday? Or even close as a mark of respect? Is thats such a bad idea. They used to do early Wednesday closing once upon a time. Let's see if greed can make way for a change. People can live without supermarkets for a day. Will anything else close, I wonder? Edited September 10, 2022 by anagain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are they doing putting out statements today, shouldn't they be at home mourning and avoiding all work and activity? Will they be compensating clubs for losing a weekend fixture, that'll almost certainly be moved to a less lucrative weekday that'll require expensive floodlighting?

Rob1981 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Big supermarkets on bank holiday hours for the funeral day presumably. Usually 10-6 or 9-6 or something instead of 6-10. All a bit daft since it means they stay open while the actual funeral is on. They surely aren’t going to close up in the middle of the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwig Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I’m hoping some places will remain open so we have something to do.

I did the Exeter Vs Leicester rugby game today, which was very nearly called off. In the end there was a prayer read and an immaculate minutes silence, followed by 14000 people signing God Save the King, and I thought that did far more justice than no one being there. Imagine having full football grounds everywhere today doing that. I could get it on a lack of police reasons. But I don't understand the disrespectful argument. By all accounts,the Queen was supposedly someone who liked to get on with things and carry on. Carrying on seems like the best tribute, imo. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
