anagain Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I don't agree with football being called off. I think it could have been a celebration of Liz. I know many, like Christmas, feel different but I do believe this country is usually able to show respect. I guess they may be concerned about travel but with the WC it'll be hard to fit fixtures in. I agreed with someone who said Liz seemed to like sport and I bet she'd like to carry on regardless. What's done is done though. I'll just play more FM.

decapitated Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Planet Rock played classical funeral music for 12 hours after the announcement of the Queens passing and is now playing the same two dozen classic rock ballads on a loop from the look of things. https://planetradio.co.uk/planet-rock/playlist/ Usually they go for a no repeats in 24 hours policy so this is quite a departure even without adding in the musical restrictions. I can see them and plenty of other radio stations losing both listeners and advertisers (for no one is running ads) for the next fortnight so they'll be losing quite a lot of money.

GunmaN1905 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Question. Will people who work over the weekend have to do so? Regular jobs, pubs, restaurants etc?

SouthCoastRed Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Without saying I told you so, I told you all the football would be off.

They've only just replaced the twenty- and fifty-pound notes, luckily the Kings government's so inept I'm unlikely to see many of them for very long again unless it's to pay my energy bill. Thankfully the Olympics isn't on for another few years so painting ER post-box gold won't be a waste of paint as they should have the CR111ones up by then. I wonder if Cristiano will bring up a copyright issue with those. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
