CORONATION

The Guardian analysed the Daily Mails stats on yesterdays headlines and found them wanting! 39% were ardent Royalists whilst 37% regarded themselves as Republicans. Only the over 65 year olds were for the monarchy. And only 20% thought the monarchy would still exist in 50 years time.

Round here it is very mixed. Sandford only has one house with obvious bunting or flags at present. My road had street parties for the ? not sure what as I abstained! but bunting was across the road and the road was closed officially. This year nothing. However in Banwell just a mile away there are several houses with bunting, a crown on a cushion and a large flag. Greater apathy seems to be being showed to the elections tomorrow – only 2 posters up in gardens (both for the Greens!).
