That Royal Wedding

Hi there

I have two friends in different parts of England and both of them were rather so-so about the royal wedding.

Yet friends in Canada and Australia are dyed in the wool royal wedding fans.  The same goes for a fantastically high number of people in other countries, even if they aren't in the Commonwealth.

I watched every second of the wedding. It started here, in New Zealand at 11 pm on the Saturday night. The day before, there'd been a royal high tea at my gym.  Everybody had to wear hats.  The room was decorated with bunting.

During the actual wedding there were raucous house parties everywhere up and down the country.  Lots of gentlemen called into radio talkback to complain about the hoo-ha.  But I compare it all to the long build-up to a test rugby match which can go on for weeks, culminating in just two hours of play.  So pot, kettle, gentlemen?
