  1. Correction, Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee was in 1887. It's 115 years since Britain last celebrated a Royal Diamond Jubilee.
  2. @AmilKhan you're right - I'm getting my Golden Jubilees and Diamond Jubilees mixed up!
  3. @smod123 really? Snide political remarks on the day of the Diamond Jubilee? And to think people say lefties are grim and humourless!
  4. It's 125 years since Britain last celebrated a Royal Diamond Jubilee. Queen Victoria's in 1887.
  5. @CaptAlexHoroble :-) you too
  6. @CaptAlexHoroble it's the kind of rain that makes you stoical and proud to be British.
  7. It is drizzling in London this morning.
  8. @CaptAlexHoroble I'll ask her if she's had any thoughts about panels on the palace. Lots of roof space! :-)
  9. Prash and I are lucky enough to be in London today to see the Diamond Jubilee Boat Pageant. As a sailor and ocean rower I love boats & water
  10. @captalexhoroble you got it? You confused me with the NB bit! This is the North Warwickshire Conservatives twitter: @NWarksConserv
  11. @captalexhoroble You mean the Jobs Fair? It's @NB_JobsFair
  12. @smod123 lol. I wish he'd announced HS2 in the Budget. Then maybe it would have been cancelled by now. ;-)
  13. @DMHowells thanks
  14. @DMHowells I have to go I'm afraid. Good to debate - we'll have to take this up another time. Have a good jubilee weekend.
