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.... ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Shouldn't smile, but did...

I love marmalade sandwiches

For all Paddington lovers and their dc:

Paddington at the Palace amzn.eu/d/6byEub9

I've just ordered this for ds who has quite a collection of Paddington books. We loved the Queen and Paddington skit for the jubilee. Happy memories.

The one in The Queen's handbag was unsliced as well.
In the ''Paddington'' stories, the Marmalade sandwiches in the illustrations were always whole like this, and not cut in half, either diagonally or horizontally.

@whokno Sorry, I was writing on my phone and it kept freezing. Michael Bond died, not DA. Although he was trending on the evening the Queen died and I'm not quite sure I'd be able to deal with the pair of them going, I love DA.

That’s adorable. Thank you so much for sharing it @Elderflower14.

Showing your privilege there, aren't you?

Did you ever consider - whilst you're so focused on inequality and poverty - that there are those who wouldn't be able to "put [their] money where their] mouth is" Those that couldn't afford to make a donation to the food bank. Those that could perhaps stretch to a slice of bread and a spread of the marmalade they already have in the house.

It's all very well being a virtue signalling twonk - but you clearly don't have any real awareness of what it's like to be in real poverty.

It’s a sandwich FGS. A tribute to HM involvement with PB.

I wonder if anyone has left any dog treats?

I expect the current corgis are missing her

And I hope that she has met up with all the others in doggy heaven

No, it’s fine to not be able to afford to donate to foodbanks. Fine and understandable.

What’s not fine is pretending that waste is absolutely brilliant because the Queen died. It’s crass and selfish.

You may have cracked the first bit…second needs work.

I’m gonna place myself in the middle ground of being completely apathetic towards it all.

Oh, do bore off

Apparently they're going to live with Prince Andrew!

I hope all those complaining about the environmental aspect lead fully green lives with a neutral carbon footprint. No, thought not.

Those moaning and whinging - I hope that you're just about to sell the phone or computer you're typing on and donate the proceeds to charity? One fucking sandwich isn't going to make any difference to the fact that people in this country rely on food banks. I thought it was a lovely gesture that perfectly captured some people's affection for the queen.

Thank you OP for posting - has made me smile - loved that sketch - Paddington is the greatest of bears

Good God @Pumperthepumper do you suck the joy out of everything ?
Why don’t you start your own thread ?

If you want to make your grief public then leave a message in an online condolence book or line the streets at her funeral but don’t leave piles of rotting flowers for someone else to have to clear up afterwards.

None of your business how others choose to show their grief/pay tribute.

I hope they are as concerned about the environmental impact of internet servers and the child labour that digs out the materials for their iphones, as well.

HM was solely to blame for several hundred years of history.

I failed history O level, but even I know that this isn't true. I will repost this that I posted on another thread. It's from someone's post on Twitter:

Neither the late Queen, nor any member of the Royal Family alive today is responsible for colonialism or the exploitative actions of historic politicians & businessmen any more than you are.

Fuck of you miserable twats and go and virtue signal elsewhere.

That sums it up

bloody hell, there are some joy sucking po-faced puritans around
Absolutely.

*Fuck of you miserable twats and go and virtue signal elsewhere.

That sums it up*

I'll say. I can make my own decisions, I don't need the thread headmistress issuing me with instructions.
