I was thinking that when they set off, perhaps they shift Vicky 60 feet to the left and have a double roundabout
70 feet surely? or just cancel it out of respect.

I do a zero hours delivery job for a local chemist just for pocket money (and to stop going madder just sitting around) and they want me to work Monday. Ridiculous

Shouldn't that be Millwall vs KPR?

And the crown estate provides the government with a hell of a lot more money than they pay out as the sovereign grant I believe.
In the last year figures are available (2021/22), the Crown Estates made a net profit of £313 million - the Royal Grant for the same period is £43 million.

There's been mutterings about a Trafalgar Day BH for years
I know the old memory is fading but tell us again what you did at Trafalgar

They don't change post boxes, even in a planned phased manner. That's why you'll still find boxes with Royal Cyphers right back to Queen Victoria
Any new ones will have a new CIIIR Royal Cypher (except in Scotland where new post boxes haven't had royal cyphers since around 1953 because some Scottish people reacted badly to QEII being called QEII).
Covid and the running community taught me more about post boxes than I ever wanted to know
Quite right Gricey. Only new post boxes will carry the new royal cipher.

More related consequences - all barristers who are QCs, immediately become KCs, all police (and other services) force badges with EIIR insignia will need to be changed, post boxes, currency, passports and stamps changes will be phased - Charles will face the opposite direction on the coins in accordance with tradition.

Among the many things you don't think about, that need to be adjusted after the death of the Monarch - Parliament will sit on Saturday to allow MPs to take the oath of allegiance to King Charles.

I don't think any of them did tbh if it happened in the afternoon.
So they didn't wait until Harry got there before making the announcement?

Thank you @Sons FC for brilliantly conducting this prediction thread through the tournament. Unlike Italy who totally deserved it, I was a lucky winner of the competition. That doesn't mean I don't still enjoy it, cause I do. I promise I will train hard to reach the best available form until WC 2022 in Qatar, trying to do the double!
Thank you very kindly, you omnificent wonderousness.

Well, that's that.
Congratulazioni Italia. Probably the best team in the tournament and well deserved winners.
Poor old England - beaten but not defeated, runners up in the second most prestigious tournament in football - not a bad outcome at all. Not a great final but riddled with intensity and uncertainty throughout. A blistering start by England and a controlled first half but ultimately, Italy grew into the game, managed to get the equaliser and win in the most dramatic of ways.
Huge sympathy to the England players who missed their penalties but they should be proud of the part they played in the tournament and know that this is not what defines them, what defines them is the strength of character and the bravery they showed to volunteer to take a penalty in the first place.
First and foremost - congratulations to the winner of the Euros 2020 prediction league:
MUTTLEY84!!!!
Many congratulations to you Muttley. He came from nowhere (well third bottom), took advantage of a (probably too generous) bonus on offer and held off a super surge from Lucas to hold everyone at bay and take the honours, which he will retain for three more years.
The final round was very low scoring, as predicted but it was littered with generous bonuses to help everyone regardless of league position but the scores from the bonuses were not as high as anticipated, even for the 50/50 chances, although everybody scored some bonus points except DJ who unaccountably failed to take advantage of the largesse on offer.
Highest scorer of the round was Wolfie with 26, thanks to his bonus scores and managing to nap the result. There were two other naps, from Lucas and Woopie, who are both the second highest scorers.
Bonus scores
Decapitated took five points for being closest to the opening goal with a prediction of 6 minutes and Pompey and Henrik win 5 points each for nearest to the time of the second goal – both were within two minutes.
How many penalties will be scored in total (this includes penalties at the end of extra time) Correct answer - 5 points 5
Will the match go to extra time - 5 points yes
Will the match go to penalties - 5 points yes
How many yellow cards in total - 5 points for the correct answer 6
How many red cards in total - 5 points of the correct answer 0
Time of the first goal scored - 10 points for correct answer. If no correct answer, 5 points to the nearest prediction 2 minutes
Time of the last goal scored (excluding penalties in the event of a tie after 120 mins) - 10 points for correct answer. If no correct answer, 5 points for the nearest prediction 67 minutes
First team to score - 5 points England
Last team to score - 5 points Italy
In the end, it was reasonably close at the top - Lucas has been taking off like a prediction league Richard Branson and like Branson, not quote reaching the space at the top as Mutters held him off for a breathtaking victory. YouReds did everything he could by climbing three place to gain a podium position in third and very well done to all our top three!
Pushing YouReds close were av3ry who finishes in fourth, one place down, JJ who finishes in 5th, also one place down and Phil, also one place down and finishing in 6th. of the potential winners in the top ten, Razzie had the toughest time, falling four places but with a decent enough score in the bonuses. Wolfie with his outstanding score is our biggest mover, up a tremendous 13 places to finish eighth, aided and abetted by his nap and a leading bonuses score - very well done Wolfie. Very impressive but a little too late though. I rise one place to finish in 9th and Orzalek also rises one place to complete the top ten.
Well played to Pompey, Phnompen and VP. for big rises, thanks to good bonus scores, with Pompey and Phnom moving up five places each and VP. rising nine places - his time near the bottom all but forgotten.
Wolfie's rise has had a consequential effect on other parts of the table, with Darius (a drop of five places), Constantine (a drop of three places), Rebs (a drop of three places), Hazzaj (our former leader, who drops three places, Craig the mutineer (a drop of three places) and Scott (a disastrous drop of eleven places) all suffering as a result.
Safe from Wolfie's impact, Whoopy rises six places and finishes in 20th place, AM moves up three, while Henrik with a disappointing round, falls two. GunmaN is a non-mover in 23rd and Dale moves up three places to 24th. Daniel falls five places on a non-entry and we come to DJ. DJ moves down eight places as a result of scoring nothing at all, while Decapitated shows him how it should be done, moving up eight places after a good bonuses score.
Oriole moves up two - you see, it really is that easy if you come in at the beginning of the round laddie! The Golden Boy slips one place to 30th to finish off the mid table positions.
The trapdoor opens and we descent to the depths of despair that is the forlorn hope.
Southcoastred snoozes his way to 31st, Rob drops seven places as a consequence of not entering, TrueBlue moves up two but is still caught by the tentacles of the depths, Jaggie moves a creditable three places, while McBB, Oche and Timma all fall three places with no entries. Carambau moves up one place to avoid last place, which is taken by Reddiablo after another no entry.
Thank you all for playing and regardless of the final positions, let's hope it was fun.
