In 2016 we are being knuckled down to not upset any other religion
I mean the Queens birthday where is the harm in that
Whilst the people of other religions will not knuckle down to what is our right to celebrate birthdays etc
If our traditions upset them that much why don't they build and fund their own schools
Or just ignore it if they don't like it .....as there is plenty of things I don't agree with in different religions and countries but I do not protest about them ..I accept that people are entitled to their own opinions
Do you think these countries would not celebrate their traditions if we lived in their countries and it offended us
Now I am not wishing to upset any religion from Catholics to buddists
and all the rest of the religions
But we need to get a back bone and put a stop to all of this and Happy Holidays for Xmas
We don't protest when other religions want to celebrate their traditions
And we should uphold all of our traditions and ceremonies after all
we do have a Lady as our head of state and long may she rule
Happy Birthday Philip
Happy Birthday to our Queen
How many people on here will wish our Lizzie and Phil a Happy Birthday
Let's see how many like this post or how long before the post is removed because my opinion offends
Pressing the button then running for cover
I love you perky X. So very well put. It seems we have to have permission from overseas to do most things these days.
It upset me when schools don't let the children celebrate whether it be Queens 90th or The Nativity. If we were to go to another Country they wouldn't give a jot about us British, they go ahead with their Countries celebrations so why can't we. I should have said why don't we, it's because far too many others complain that it isn't what they believe. And we mustn't upset them must we.
Keep going perky, you've got it right XThere's no place like home
Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

Good Morning I'm going to start painting the walls in the living room now , lovely .Anyone got any view on the colour for the main wall please

Good morning Susie ...regarding painting your accent wall red :eek:no not agood idea ...what other colours do you have in your carpet as sometimes better to choose a contrast colour ..0 -
I saw him about 10 years ago in the flesh I still stand by my comment about him being very dashing and I think he's improved with age...a truly striking man.
I also see that my other dashing and handsome chap who carried my bags so well has now been signed up by A and looks pretty good behind a BBQ!
Doesn't he just :heartpulsThere's no place like home
