Well, I guess you lot are still very much in shock and saddened by the death of our Queen.
Condolences from down under.
Having a mother who was a Londoner and being named after Prince Philip myself, I think I feel it a little more than some.
I think King Charles' speech was excellent and will be of some comfort to the British.

the tabloids are despicable.. they appeal to the lowest common denominator, so in a way, they only exist due to the demand for the crap they sell.....

Mum was born in 1920 and lived in Coal Hill Lane Fulham. I think that area has been redeveloped and the Lane might not be in existence these days? |

I remember Fulham only from my time as a minicab driver in about 1972. I did the night shift 8-8, and it was always spectacularly colourful! Once Id saved up enough, I went to a festival in Houston,Texas! |

What a coincidence 1920 eh.
Mum made it to 99.
I googled Coal Hill Lane and it's still around, 3 storey homes going for 1.4 million pounds. How times have changed.
