Swearing

[Joe_Fox]

OK, hands up, who's going to be swearing during the coronation of Charlie?

Will you be swearing in style a) "I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God."

.... or style b) "**** this load of ****ing bollocks!" (or similar)

or of course, c) Sausages*

* see what I did there?

Coronation? Isn't that a street?

Coronation? What?

Has the Queen died?

This isn't a witch hunt but would the loyalist like to reveal themselves? I'm genuinely curious to hear why they would swear allegiance to someone I doubt they know much about. Purely optional.

I wouldn't describe myself as a royalist but their existence and privilege doesn't bother me as much as it does some. I won't be swearing allegiance because I don't feel it has any meaning.

Same - I kind of see them as some real life soap opera. Like a really posh version of Brookside. I'm sure their relevance was greater way way back in the day, and perhaps even during the war as a vehicle to boost the country's morale, but nowadays? Irrelevant I would say.

Has the Queen died?

It's what she would have wanted

And who could blame her?

At least Thomas will get that season in the Championship we've all been saying his development needs

You swear to that?

I swear I thought this was the right thread to put that ;-)
