I think it is fair to say that I have no interest in this royal wedding at all beyond welcoming the extra day off.  Like any other soap opera I am happy to ignore it and get on with what I want to do. I would probably be happier about it if I wasn’t practically being ordered to be happy about it by the government and establishment.
Unfotunately it is a lot harder to ignore than the other soap operas – you just have to not watch them and not buy OK! or the tabloids to not be distracted by them. I thought I would be safe walking down to the cafe and having a patriotic full English while looking over the Times cryptic crossword. It turns out that the crossword today has a royal wedding theme.
The first 16 pages of the paper have nothing except royal wedding stuff, and that is on top of a 16-page throwaway section. Isn’t that enough for the feeble-minded royalists? Why do they have to screw up the crowwsord too?
I’m still not sure how you can fill up 16 pages about one event.  I imagine the papers have printed quite a lot of stuff already, so what is left to say?
