To think the BBC coverage of the flotilla is total crap

[RabidAnchovy]

They really are making a pigs ear of it.

I want to see the boats (try and spot DPs dads boat)
not listen to all the crap from this presenter and that presenter and bloody poems,

Please make them in the studio STFU!!!

"She's totally enjoying it" BBC

Umm not so sure of that based on her face.

Kill the studio witterers!!! Off with their heads!

What did he do to Zoe salmon?

The Queen looks great, good outfit choice! And Kate looks stunning.

DH is on his iPad grumping quietly under his breath about tax payers money. I told him he should go to work tomorrow if that's how he felt.

And use their clothes to warm the queen up!

I want to see THE BOATS!

And now for the man who opens the bridge

Well, we went all the way to Battersea park just to realize that all it was was:

Portaloos on parade

Crowds of people.

Very few could even see the river. Half the crowd was disappointed and muttered stuff like "this sucks" and "how crap".

There was lots of viewing space on Albert Bridge (east of the park) but it was for vips I think, and there were meters of space between each person. The bridge was closed so impossible to get over to the other end to try and watch, but they were letting people through FROM Chelsea Embankment.

From all the stalls in the park, there were as far as I could see only ice cream vans, no hot food or drinks.

We left pretty soon and felt we had wasted both money and time coming. They had obviously sold WAY too many tickets.

Put sky news on i did about half an hour ago much better!!

Wow a leaver, yes a fucking leaver!

I dont have sky

Am i the only one who expected a convoy of big boats majestically cruising down the Thames and not a few little rowing boats?

Looks crowded at the bridge.

The Queen's barge looks like a very nice floating chinese restaurant I once dined upon.

That's what I thought ledkr

No, ledkr - I thought so, too.

Is that the one by Regents park?

Sky News is on Freeview - channel 82.
Just switched over. Less good pictures but less dreadful wittering, so on balance better.

I'm so bored I'm buggering off to iron.
And whoever styled Sophie Raworth hair - you ought to hang your head in shame.

There is a huge convoy of boats behind the towers!! The BBC can't see them for some reason

yes, that's it jewelled, it looks a bit like flocked wallpaper.

Sorry, rowers. Not towers.
