Re: The Queen watch
Had a brief listen to Huw & Nick on the beeb. I can honestly say, apart from acknowledging that it's sad when someone passes, her death will not affect me practically at all. Someone else just takes her place

Re: The Queen watch
I don't know her. Got nothing against her but will not affect me. Hope they don't close everything down

Re: The Queen watch
Assuming she's already died, there will not be an announcement until all the family have arrived at Balmoral. So you probably have another couple of hours before national mourning mode is activated.

It will be short lived, we have other ways to distract ourselves.CEB wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 3:04 pmWait til you experience the disruptionThe Mindsweep wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 3:00 pm Had a brief listen to Huw & Nick on the beeb.

Re: The Queen watch
I've got the Beeb on in the background where I'm working. I swear I just heard Nicholas Witchell say that the Queen's corgis "know nothing of her status."

Re: The Queen watch
Heh, journalists making announcements ahead of official confirmation could be a fun sport.

Re: The Queen watch
Huw Edwards saying talk of transition may not be premature, so I’d like to place on record my appreciation for the work done by his majesty the king over the last 7 decades

Re: The Queen watch
Huw Edwards is pretty much outright saying that she’s dead. It’s genuinely impressive how well he’s communicating it without breaking protocol.

Re: The Queen watch
We're probably about an hour from the announcement. I'm popping to the shop - anyone want anything?
