BBC and MSM go silly about something that only interests a minority of the British public. [the ones who buy tea towels and mugs]
Nothing much to see here, please move on.

I think you under estimate the amount of the British Public this interests - believe for the last royal wedding he viewing figures were over 30 mil and the crowds on the day and the parties etc showed that it’s far from the minority that are interested

And it’s a damn sight better news that 99% of the trollop that’s spouted each day in the rags and on telly

I think it'll be somewhere in between.

He's 5th in line. This isn't about a future king and queen....

Another correct answer.
The interest in this wedding will be phenomenal from both sides of the Atlantic, and probably all over the world.
 
Is this a North/South thing? It seems to me that all the hype is centred in the Home Counties, where as up here nobody seems to give two hoots.
 
Personally I will pay it as much attention as I have to every other Royal wedding.

Zero!!

As I would for any other couple getting married I wish them every happiness but beyond that I have absolutely no interest.

I suspect that I may have much in common with the majority of men and a significant number of women on this issue.

More likely age and gender thing across the UK - those older and female will be tuning in en masse.
5 minutes highlights on the news will do me........ unless the grass needs cutting.

The news coverage may be phenomenal, I expect the Daily Express/Mail will blow gaskets.... but the interest is less than 40% of the British public according to polls.
 
I guess it will be good for tourism so somebody might make a profit - hopefully not by buying stuff from overseas!

Well the viewing figures for Prince William's wedding were reported as approximately 24 million which equates to around 40% of the population.

But that’s not the poll Doon was talking about and the last wedding had approx 70% of the viewing figures with at least 34 mil watching some part of the wedding - and that doesn’t include the thousands that lined the streets or were around the Abbey or Buckingham Palace

Then add in the millions around the world who watched it plus the thousands or maybe millions who travelled to the UK to watch it plus the boost to tourism then whilst it’s not to everyone’s taste it’s certainly a massive appeal to millions in the UK and around the world

I’m sure they people who aren’t interested in will just switch it off as opposed to moaning about it on a daily/weekly basis

Maybe some are just more happy when there it’s full of negative rubbish in the news and on the telly
 
Viewing figures for an event of this nature are distorted by the inclusion of those like myself who watch none of the live coverage but cannot avoid it totally due to news bulletins.

In any event as far as I can see no one has said that there is not very significant interest in the event merely that those interested do not include them.

It's what is known as people having different opinions. Certainly don't expect to post again on this thread as I am totally indifferent to this and any other celebrity occasion.

So if you had a choice of watching Harrys wedding or Liverpool v Man U......what would it be?

O/T Man U currently going bonkers at Watford.
 
Shame another thread has regressed into people not accepting views and demanding statistical evidence at every turn. As it's at Windsor I hope there may be the usual fly pass which means in normal circumstances they'll all come over the golf course. That'll be the only thing I'll be looking out for but I wish the happy couple well
