To shout “No! The Queen was not sat alone!”

[Saddlesore]

I have just been reading some of the online coverage of Prince Philip’s funeral, from some pretty blue-chip websites, and some of them say “The Queen was sat alone...” This is like nails down a blackboard for me (along with “I was stood...”). Surely the Queen was sitting, or was seated?
Of course, there’s an outside chance that the writer made a spelling error and meant to say “The Queen was sad...” - but that goes without saying.

It is. But only other SPAG pedants would appreciate it.

So no craic then

Oh give over. Plenty of craic, as you’d expect with one of us hailing from N Ireland.

Ah..... in that case then the craic will be ninety !
