Ffs just tell us when the funeral is!

[CrapBucket]

Just tell us if its the Saturday or the Monday please ffs. 'Expected' to be is driving me mad.

So they probably could have told us sooner.

Bridezilla I really hope it works out and for all those having hospital appointments/flights anything

Sure you are 😎

19th has been officially confirmed

Schools & shops are closing

Yes they are closing

Quite

Children (besides immediate family of course) will be unlikely to be invited to the Queens funeral ffs! Don't believe everything you hear!

I missed that post when it was first made, and it's definitely the stupidest on the thread.

@PerfectlyPreservedQuagaarWarrior You cannot unilaterally declare any comment "the stupidest on this thread!" If you disagree just ignore instead of putting people down!

I am, I posted to try and help 🫤. Preparations for her funeral started the day she died. What on earth is wrong with Mumsnet these days…such bitchy undertones.

Sounds like it will be a normal bank holiday on the 19th so I'm guessing it will be only essential services for NHS and everyone else will be off.

But as shown above people have a habit of declaring things to be true.

Schools won't be closing, it won't be a BH there are loads on here which are repeatedly shown to be rubbish so people no longer believe anyone that states something as fact without a source.

The Government has confirmed schools will be closed www.gov.uk/government/news/bank-holiday-announced-for-her-majesty-queen-elizabeth-iis-state-funeral-on-monday-19-september

Honestly they announced in the last minute for me, tomorrow would've been to late to keep all my vendors. We're having to move the wedding for the next day. A hassle but better than cancelling. Hope everything works out for everyone else, especially people waiting for medical appointments!

Oh sorry EssentialGarage I think I misread your post and thought you were saying schools wouldn't be closed. Anyway, that's the Govt answers to various questions.

Bride I'm really glad you managed to salvage the day. The 20th September 2022 looks better anyway with all those 2's. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Sierra no worries, I'm not surprised as the world and his dog has been announcing thoughts as facts.

You appear to have fundamentally misunderstood how AIBU works.

School isn't going to close. Why is everyone getting in a tizzy?

Just keep your garage/restaurant or whatever open

Yes they are closing

@NeckFanInSoftPlay RTFT I corrected myself a few posts later after realising I'd been reading the guidance for the period of mourning, not the funeral date.

Hope you've not been holding on for 2 days to correct me cause I beat you to it 🤣

At least there is a date now. Sorry to those who have had Monday weddings cancelled and any hosp appts on the Monday. Congrats to those with Saturday weddings!

The politest way of describing my class this year is immature. I won’t share the more accurate terms. Hardest cohort I’ve had in a decade. Traditionally middle class village primary.

I could have lynched them when they started pinching each other and fighting during that assembly.

I’ve been moved down to Y3 to reform them. Thinking I might need an IV of alcohol by October.

Sorry, above reply to @Mammyloveswine

Sounds joyous! DN is year 3, and I know her teacher last year said that age group were one of the worst affected by the impact of school closures in lockdown.

You can’t just delay a patients appointment one day, consultants have fixed slots for clinics and booked up months in advance. The following day they could be on a ward round/in theatre etc. Also clinics need the space so the following day another consultants clinic will be in, you can’t see people on the car park. Let alone all the elective day surgery that has to be cancelled due to staff being off. Bank holiday NHS staffing is like weekend or night level of staffing.
