Palace requests mourners to stop leaving stuff like marmalade sandwiches

[Sparklybutold]

So the palace has now told people to stop leaving marmalade sarnies and such...

Those who thought it was ok the first time still think it's ok? Or now the palace acknowledges how ‘unsustainable’ it is change your opinion?

FWIW. It was idiotic the first time and still is.

You’ve seen prancing? Wish I had, that must have been highly entertaining.

The Ancient Egyptians (who I assume you are referring to) also entombed pets and servants with the deceased monarch. Not sure we want to follow their practices!

I dunno. Queen's first servants would be prime minister and cabinet I suppose ...

Obviously we would cherry pick our preference, but the practice of e.g. Flowers, food items, etc, is not a new perspective, for e.g. How people are with leaving gifts for the queen, in the afterlife.

That could be because they don't to be invaded by rats the size of dogs.

This week has seriously made me want to emigrate more than I already did. Some British people are seriously off the fucking map.

Can't there be a website set up to pay for digital flowers or something? Like £5 for digital flowers, £2 for a digital teddy, £10 for bloody sandwich or whatever. Then it tallies on the front page how many have been bought in total and the royal family sees it. All proceeds from the sales to charity of whatever choice. And you get a link when you buy so you can showcase your buying on social media for those wanting to look good 😂

@Sparklybutold youre spot on about the optics. The royals need all this sycophantic nonsense - it’s what makes them feel relevant.

Hmm maybe not such a bad idea...... I could get behind sacrificing that lot but draw the line at the corgis!

Quietly donating money to charity isn’t likely to get you on The Telly though is it?

Give them to the MPs for their subsidised canteen...

Not to mention the Chinese terracotta warriors.
How about a terracotta set of MPs?

Oh @brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr that is so true! Lol!

Typical soggy teddy parade of makeshift shrines. Ugh

God, what an imbecilic thing to do.

Certainly a modern version, for historians, years ahead.

I donated the cost of a bouquet of flowers to a local youth club for children and teens with Autism.

Digital flower tribute! That's a great idea! And then the money could be donated to plant some actual trees or provide actual marmalade doe bears or whatever.

It's surprising the palace hasn't promoted something like this:

@mum2jakie that won’t work for the public image . . .

Why are people so stupid? Genuine question. Just why?

Cos all the clever ones are on here, don't ya know.
