johnnyk 158 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 It's not all about money, these things don't happen very often yet people still moan when they do. I think this has cheered up millions of people in the UK (and the world) even the skint ones who like the Royals. The ones who moan they don't want to watch it why don't they just turn over to another channel there is plenty on SKY of even freeview these days or just switch it off! Wouldn't it just be better to ignore it rather than moan about it unless of course you like a good moan!! I hardly seen any live stuff about the Jubilee but watched some on SKY+ and found some of it very good and have to admit I love watching all the union flags flying it's a great site to see. The Queen IMO works hard and has done during her reign, she certainly does more than people think but everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'd rather celebrate something British than the likes of St Patricks day or special visits from foreigners! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Everybody I spoke to was lifted by the weekends events we get nothing but doom & gloom on the news. Was nice to see Great Britain doing what it does best, wish we could have more of them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 The Jubilee celebrations were not paid for by the tax-payer but by corporate fund-raising and donations. So we're led to believe anyway. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMazza 0 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I wouldn't actually grudge it anyway...if it WAS funded by the taxpayer. Wasn't the Papal visit a cost to the tax payer? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 To all those moaning about the cost - I trust you refused the bank holiday/pay for Tuesday? Where do you work? Bank holiday payments ceased about 5 years ago in retail. If I had the chance to refuse a day off or double time I'd be chuffed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an extra public holiday, so leave with pay, or double time if worked. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 To all those moaning about the cost - I trust you refused the bank holiday/pay for Tuesday? My working week was dayshift Saturday-Tuesday. I took Tuesday off to look after my 5 month old son. Out of interest, can you refuse to not work? If your boss decides to shut the company then what can you do? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
