Hello three members and two guests.Not much going happening on the forum tonight,most members and guests are away to Jubilee street parties.Some of the members may return to the forum when they get home again,but they will full of drink and will just talk rubbish.They will use a lot of foul language and argue continually,so be prepared if you are easily offended.Anyway,the only Jubilee that i remember about was in 1977,i was ten years old at primary school.Every pupil got a brown mug and a coin,i cant remember what the coin was worth,i haven't looked at it for years.It was a great celebration all over the country that year,anyone around the age of 50 or older will have fond memories i would imagine.We had various events going on through the day at the local school and play park.Then in the evening there was a party/dance for all in the local pub,finally there was a bonfire and fireworks in a nearby field.It was a wonderful day.There isnt much going on here for this Jubilee though,the local pub is closed down and made into flats,and there is no street party,although there is a gathering in the play park on sunday.Oh well,without a Monarchy there would have been no Jubilee in 1977 and no fond memories.I think the UK would be that bit less interesting without the Queen.People argue that the monarchy costs the country a lot of money,but they bring in a fair bit of money to the country through tourism and the such.Oh well ,hope you're all enjoying the Queens Platinum Jubillee,no matter what you think of the monarchy.Bye for now my friends.
