I'm inclined towards a ride up to London to see things. Better than driving anywhere near the place.
200k there, 200k back.
The logistics are a little challenging, definitely not getting on a sardine train.
What's your plan for the Funeral Bank Holiday?

Not sure what drugs you're on but you really should give them up.

Will there be a queue for Kew?

It may be a bit ‘near the knuckle’, even for Viz?

Possibly. They're usually pretty good at taking the proverbial subtly out of things.
I reckon the queue will be fair game for a one off strip, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Fulchester United's fixture list affected. I could see strips with the Bacons and Sid the Sexist too.

Heading out for a ride, trying to avoid any radio or TV coverage of the event. Was hoping to find a pub with a garden where I could sit outside with a couple of drinks and a book before returning home, but it looks like they'll all be closed.

I would be very surprised if pubs shut. It could be a "golden" opportunity for some to make money, especially if it is a nice day.
I feel sure there will be many punters who would want to "toast" the queen and many others who would see it as an excuse / reason to go and get bladdered.

If the weather is good, I'll be out first thing in North Wales - probably be back to watch some of the funeral, then we'll be travelling back home from Wales on quiet roads !
I'll watch some - but I am not sitting through hours of it.

I've not come across people saying horrible things about the Queen as a person, though taking shots at the institution of the monarchy and all that that entails is fair game whilst it's under the microscope. The reporting is very one sided.
I think like with many things, people should do what they feel is best. Some are very reverent, others less so. I think people should be allowed to spend the day as they see fit as long as it doesn't impact on others.
I have no love for any hereditary monarchy nor a President either, we might as well have a ceremonial goat, but I'm not about to spoil somebody else's moment of 'mourning' either.

Do you think people are having this same discussion about whether they should drive their car on Monday?
