So.....people given a "day off" will all be out getting a round in? while they should be sitting in prayer???? I can't believe this attitude.....so....

Will pubs, cinemas etc be closed? No doubt some will, I’ll bet the majority will be open and doing good business.
There are a lot of important times in the world.....this is another one. It is one to be respected.....but not one to stop your life over.Who said anything about prayer ?
And not sure what your list is about or how it’s relevant

So....you think everybody should take the day off and sit around in their house? Doing......? People have things they like to do. The Queen dying doesn't stop everything from happening.And I have no doubt that when those events happened the world did stop at the time to remember ?
But it’s just a list of wars and ones that happened centuries or decades ago ? Where is the comparison to a reigning monarch passing away ?

If I happen to play golf on that day....this is a bad thing how?
As an American and living in the UK for 20+ years....I have pretty good memories of the queen. There are a lot of people I really respect.....but I don't think ANY of them would want me sitting around the house mopping about their death. I certainly don't want anybody I know to do that about me.......you?
Actually, I would suggest that is what you hinted at.I don’t think anyone has suggested anyone should “sit around the house moping”
And also no one has suggested that “everything stops” because the Queen has passed away
But if a golf club decides they want to close for the day of the funeral then I would hope and think that choice would be respected
Ahhh.....the need for a power tool???As a contractor who will not be paid next Monday, as far as I am concerned if I'm being forced to take a day off, then I will spend it as I damned well please.
That's not disrespectful, I just don't need to pay my respects by sitting in front of the telly watching Her Majesty be laid to rest.
If the golf courses are shut then B&Q had better be bloody well open.?
That is a point......nothing from the club at this point......Everyone is forgetting the most important thing here...
Smiffy - have you found the email and is it tomorrow or the 19th.....
More the case of the wife finding "jobs" for me to do if I'm not playing golf.???Ahhh.....the need for a power tool???
Not painting. Please....not painting.....my wife has barred me from painting...Absolute crap at painting in a neat and tidy way. I can't prune bushes anymore either......they were fine.....they recovered......More the case of the wife finding "jobs" for me to do if I'm not playing golf.???

I don't think Phil is interested in anything that doesn't fit with his views......Closest you will get is Princess Diana.
Liverpool v Newcastle postponed the same day as her death. Golf courses open.
Bolton v Everton the day after her death went ahead.
Can't remember if fixtures were postponed around the day of her funeral. Would have to look it up.
Still not a reigning monarch I grant you but the closest thing most of us will ever have experienced.

It was an international weekend when Di's funeral took place - I was at the Scotland game which was postponed from the Saturday (day of funeral) to the following day.Closest you will get is Princess Diana.
