Not So Secret Journal

God knows what day we are on, and I’m so late to this party, but I started writing this post on one of my many train journeys to and from town to pick my youngest daughter up from dance and forgot to post it.

So apparently the King had a bit of a bash, all in the name of him officially becoming the King!

Now I’m not really a fan, but people love a good show, and from the highlights, that I did see it was all about the pomp and glamour of tradition, and little bit of Michael Jackson going off with the one glove, they probably spent too much money on the after party and thought no one would notice.

In our house we have to budget everything, so when I heard that there was a hundred Million being spent on the party, I was a bit sad by it all.  People are struggling to pay basic bills, yet someone thought I know let’s pay for the king’s party too because he’s got a gas bill coming in. I mean if you want a lavish party, open up the palace as an Air B&B, it’s not like anyone lives their full time, they’d make a packet.

I don’t begrudge anyone having nice things or even paying for expensive parties, but I’m sure Charlie could have gone Dutch with us for the party.

I mean who comes up with the idea of a publicly funded party and only invites 10,000 “Joe Public” to attend, there’s a few more of us than that and I bet they didn’t get any sausage rolls.

You can see it now as they begin to organise the coronation, Camilla with her guest list only inviting the select few, whilst Charlie is inviting all the lads Camilla can’t stand and constantly asking “why are you inviting him, he’s a tit” and that’s just Boris and his cronies.

Then there’s the kids, do we invite Harry? Meg refusing to go to the in laws (it’s bad enough she’s related to them), Will and Kate have to go because it will be Will’s turn next, so he has to see what all the fuss is about, and I’ve heard he’s already started a go fund me page to pay for the other glove.

Don’t even get me started on the siblings, with Anne and Edward being the “Normal” ones and Uncle Andy had to be invited because he might do another TV interview.

So how would we “Joe Public” have organised the Coronation?

Now my favourite Royale family character has to be Jim, simply because he is the King of their little two up two down council house.

So how would Jim celebrate becoming king?

I’m sure he would have his queen Barbara, down to Iceland for their party range, you know the one three items for a tenner.

Armed with her Sausage rolls, Pork Pies, and Vol au Vonts to add a little bit of class to the party table even if no one eats the bloody things, not forgetting the Back Forest Gateaux, it would have been a party fit for any King and not costing a king’s ransom.

When my nan used to throw her famous boxing day buffet’s she would make enough food to last the whole week, never mind a few hours with the fam after our famous Match Day Jaunts.

I vote that when Will has to step up and becomes King, we get all the Nanna’s in the world to help out with the world biggest buffet, which won’t cost a Hundred Million and if we get everyone to bring a plate of their favourite foods and maybe invite Mary Berry to bring some of her lush cakes.

Let me know what you think, and if you’re loving the blog give us a little share on your socials.
