To want to go to Windsor when Prince Harry gets married?

Whenever we see news coverage of events like this there are huge crowds outside the venue. I'm wondering if being part of that crowd is an easy thing to do?

You can want to go. However, you will be unlikely to get anywhere near the Castle. Possibly much better to go at another time to the Chapel after the event.

Weeing sorted.. But what about pooing. Local cafes etc are sure to say toilets for patrons only

misspetite · 08/01/2018 18:50

However much you hate her, she's got her prince who clearly loves her- so perhaps you should concentrate on your marriages if you have one- so much for sisterhood. pathetic nasties (yes, you women). Shock

Lemonadesea · 08/01/2018 19:15

I don't hate her. I hate the despicable and archaic system of monarchy and all it represents.

DottyBlue2 · 08/01/2018 19:22

But if you leave to go for a poo, you'll lose your place. Someone will muscle in and then refuse to budge when you return.

Katinkka · 08/01/2018 19:23

What if you need the toilet?

Trashboat · 08/01/2018 19:26

Go if you want. Personally, I would rather shit in my hands and clap.

Excited101 · 08/01/2018 19:33

God! What is wrong with people that they have to sit and pick, pick, pick at a post like this in a desperate quest to be ‘right’ just shut up! It’s boring.

Sounds fun op, I had thought about going as I live in London but haven’t yet made it to any royal events like this. I love all the proms type stuff in Hyde Park so maybe this would be up my street too?! Be an excuse to get the Union Jack onesie out...!

Excite101- Ignore the sad people. I say if you want to come to Windsor, please do so- some friends will be here from abroad (just by coincidence). Send me a pm- if you feel like you need company. Smile

Then I will do what I do any other time I am out in public and either use public toilets or go when it in a cafe or something. Not really challenging tbh.

I would camp out all night and wave the flags to see that Wink

I can't really figure out what the point would be?

There's toilets in Daniels, top floor near the Lego.

DottyBlue2 · 08/01/2018 23:43

But if you leave your spot you'll never get it back again!! 💩👑👰

That's fine though. I'm not fussed about 'spots' although everyone else seems to be!

What if you walk all the way to Tesco to go to the loo and you're doing a massive dump 💩 and you miss the procession?. And then there's no soap in the dispenser. Won't you be cross?

dotty shit, if you will pardon the pun! I never thought about that. I usually take a dump in Tesco and regularly have that issue with the soap dispensers. Perhaps if I ring ahead the day before Tesco will have their finest staff fill the soap dispensers in anticipation of my arrival!

Yes, YABU. Wild horses couldn’t drag me there.

Wallis, so who else is going to be in the UK when I am? When was it arranged? And when was I going to find out?

Take some Immodium so you won't be troubled by such a mundane thing as a moving bowel. Poo has no part to play on such a glittering occasion. Keeping your colon from twitching can be your wedding gift to the ginger prince.

We went to a Royal Visit once and as a PP said you have to get there ridiculously early for a front row 'seat'.

We literally only got a glimpse of them too before they were ushered off quickly.

If you stay at home and watch it on the telly you get front row seats from the comfort of your armchair. But I imagine the atmosphere is amazing to be amongst.

pigeondujour · 09/01/2018 06:18

We chatted with Phil which was much more fun than meeting Liz as you're almost guaranteed he'll say something inappropriate or funny... he didn't disappoint.

Christ this is embarrassing. They wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

VanillaSugar · 09/01/2018 06:31

I'd rather chat with Phil than with Mavis. He always looks socially awkward in the snippets of TV nickel that I've seen of him.

falange · 09/01/2018 06:41

How can you be unreasonable for wanting to go? If you want to go, go. I think it will be great if you get a good spot and don't mind standing for hours. Ignore the nasties on here.
