They're talking to a sobbing old Englishman whose heart is broken by the death of his former mistress, of course they're not going to be negative about her to your face.
My coworkers (Cantonese, Indian, Brazilian, and American) do freely, but they know I don't like the royal family. I'm sure they wouldn't if I was a monarchist.
Mostly e-mails ... where they don't have to say anything ... yet they do ... go figure eh? ... but given that you've spoken with most of them and know what they really think
It’s not bitter to think fewer people will watch something than have access to a television in the entire world, you dozy old twonk.
It doesnt mean anything. When people hear my accent and ask where I'm from in stores they've all asked if I've heard about the Queen, and sorry to hear about it and ask my opinion. I tell them the truth, "I'm not really that bothered, I don't like the monarchy think it needs to be abolished, fairly neutral towards the Queen, can't stand Charles though." They're being polite, but once they hear I'm not a monarchist most relax and make some comment like "yeah, it is a bit odd you still have a monarch in the 21st century". Most people here do have favourable views of Lizzie, she was liked but no one likes Charles. No one! Americans adore Diana (they're obsessed with pretty people) and they still blame Charles for what happened. He's very much seen as the pantomime villain.
You, like a few others on here are in denial ... if you can't admit that what is unfolding before your eyes - mourning, respect, grief and also fondness on a scale like nothing seen in anybody living's lifetime, - then it says more about you than I ever could ... or would be bothered to. No offence
Also logic, given it’s barely possible for it to not be true. Let me know when the viewing figures are in.
So we can safely say that only a few women ... including Ponky (always had my suspicions) haven't got access to a TV? ... figures
