The Queen.
Well she came to my town today to open up cheshire homes.
Well thing is I feel rather guilty cos my kids could have met her as my brother works there but I didn't think Josh would understand so I didn't get name on the list. He went with his school and so he did get to see her and he was really excited and meh I just feel like the worst mum ever now. I didn't drag my daughters in to town to see her either as its cold and they both have bad coughs and meh feel even more guilty. such a bad mum today but my daughters are far too young to know who she is and would have only like the police, flags and horses around and they see police horses around anyway so do you think it matters? do you think I'll have them telling me I am nasty when they are older? lol. Have any of you met the queen? I could have shaken her hand and spoken to her but I just couldn't be bothered tbh. I've seen her on the telly every xmas since I was born so thats enough for me methinks.

To be perfectly honest I think it's a load of ****. I have no time for the royal family. Have no idea what all the fuss is about, it's totally unneeded!

  My view is the same too but to kids its different I think eh? I know that if I took my girls into town they would have only been interested in the flags and the police horses thats it. They see the police horses often so no point dragging them out in the cold just for them.

It's only the Queen. Never understood the fascination in the Royal Family myself.

I haven't, and would love to. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have the opposite feeling to most people here.

They are both under 3 baby would have most likely only be snoring and well Georgina would have only been moaning about getting out of the pushchair and that would not happen in a crowd of people lol. I just feel bad for Josh as he was so excited and he could have met her properly rather than waving a flag at her going up the high street in her car. He is ok he just said oh mummy thats not fair. I explained to him that it was nicer for him being with all of his friends and he was ok

The Queen is worth a fortune in tourists money and as long as she continues to pay her way I'm happy to keep singing for God to save her.

I've seen her from a distance as she came to Swansea not long ago. I was working opposite the train station at the time for a Canadian firm and all the Canadian staff were ridiculously excited about her arrival at the station.
So I went outside with them and watched as she went off in her fancy car. Couldn't care less about her but it was better than working  Got sod all interest in the Royal Family personally, waste of space imo although suppose they do bring in tourists. It's silly how sycophantic the press get over them though
