Someone has left a Marmalade Sandwich outside Buckingham Palace...

With a note attached saying "For later..." 😢 😢 😢 😢
As a MASSIVE Paddington fan this made me cry more than the taxis lined up in The Mall.... ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

She did a scene with PB for the platty joobs, he offered her a marmalade sandwich and she showed him that she keeps one in her handbag for emergencies! Apparently she had marmalade on toast for breakfast every day too.

Queen and Paddington....

Thanks! I've not seen the skit, I'll look out for that

This country is insane.

What's the matter with ants or foxes or rats? They're everywhere. We live alongside them in this world. The sandwich was outside, wasn't it?

True.or back to darkest Peru!! 🤣

She was queen for 70 years, she wasn't in charge when we were marauding around nicking other people's countries, so it's definitely not her fault.

What a load of nutters on this thread. Imagine being SO MISERABLE, one marmalade sandwich being left outside Buckingham palace isn’t going to make anyone starve to death… neither will the head of broccoli.
You are laughable and need to get a grip - if you’re so offended by it, get off mumsnet and go and donate to a foodbank.

😂😂 it's cute though. Seagulls will probably have it.

I'm seriously considering going and laying flowers now, just to piss off the misery guts and joy suckers.

I've got to agree with you!

Also, it'll be covered in ants in no time.

I have donated to a food bank today. Have you?

And it’s not one plastic wrapped piece of crap, people have been dropping all kinds of shit at the gates of the palace. It’s idiotic.

It’s one marmalade sandwich it isn’t going to solve hunger, what about cake smash birthday photo sessions? What about all the food that is thrown away by supermarkets?

OR support the Queen’s people and donate that money to her servants who need it.

All that too! It’s not one or the other!

You absolute hero. PM me your address and I'll pop a medal in the post.

Not today. However I’m not preaching about a wrapped up sandwich.

But hers wasn't sliced!

No, you don’t have to. Just put your money where your mouth is.

@Pumperthepumper You really do love telling people what to do, don't you?

I can always rely on MN to remind me the world is mainly full of miserable fuckers.

It's meant to be funny - and it is. I think it's rather sweet. No pun intended. I do see the serious point about all the cellophane - we should do better really.

All of that is shite too. We need a shift as both individuals and corporations to be less selfish as a nation and planet and cut the waste of food and plastics.
