To not understand why anyone would not watch the Coronation?

[Katypp]

OK, I get that you are an edgy republican, but are you not a little bit nosy?
And if you really don't care, why are you on every Coronation thread telling everyone you don't care? Why would you not just ignore them, as you don't care?
I personally have no time for the Royal family and think they should be abolished completely, but I can't imagine not watching such a big thing for the whole country, in the same way I watched the euro Cup final even though I could not name any of the players as I have no interest in football.
Why wouldn't you?

Because we're doing the garden.Will watch the highlights later

I’ve watched bits of this today. I don’t know how I missed it was happening or I’d have been there.

I’m cleaning my house today. Way more impoetant to me after a few weeks of DH and I being lurgied and things being neglected

Curious about what? It’s pathetic and I don’t waste my life watching shit

Me too. I have no interest and many people I know have gone out to the independence march through Glasgow instead.

I wasn't terribly interested but I did switch on at midday and saw the actual crowning. Just dumb luck tbh. I didn't KNOW it would be at midday I sort of guessed it 😂
Switched off again after Camilla got her funny hat too. Was very boring and everyone looked utterly miserable. Especially Charles

I had better things to do tbh. I can't sit around watching TV all day I have four children to look after.

many historical acts we don’t agree with, but looking away says more about the person than the act. my opinion, is it does not make you edgy, it makes you ignorant

hang on, I’m ignorant if I don’t spend the day watching a billionaire spunking £150m of our money up the wall whilst 1 in 5 kids live in poverty? It’s got zero to do with being ‘edgy’ it’s about being a decent fucking human.

I'm in Ohio. I didn't get up at 5am to watch, but they're streaming it in a loop on TV. I'm watching. This is the first time this has happened in my life time; it's a historic event. Of course I'll watch.

I’m not interested.

And I’ve got my own worried consuming me.

But the OP was asking why people weren't interested in watching it - how is she going to ever understand if only people who are interested in it respond?

I have just watched for 7 hours straight through. It was fantastic and made me feel very proud and emotional.

I’m an overworked underpaid teacher and I had marking to do. I’d rather get it out of the way so I can enjoy my evening.

I have no tv.
I had no idea it was happening until I saw a road closed sign outside my flat, I realised what the date was.
I looked it up in a newspaper.
I'd be bored rigid.
I'm busy watching something infinitely more interesting on my firewalled.

*fire tablet.

For those of us who have failed to give up our day to watching the coronation, I think we can safely assume there will be a few bits and bobs about it on YouTube at some point.

If we can summon up the interest.

Because they had an affair and behaved appallingly. I can't stand people who cheat on their spouses.

Loved it especially the march by the armed forces. For me its not just about the royal family but our military and other services.

"soberfabulous
Genuinely zero interest. I played tennis during!

There are plenty of things I don’t have an interest in. I don’t click on threads, read them. And announce I’ve no interest, why would I, I’ve no interest.

and yet, here you are…"

The thread title has a lot do with it. It is actually asking why people wouldn't watch it. So asking for responses as to why that would be. Hardly a stretch for people to actually answer the question posed.

Maybe you are less interested in the coronation than you want to appear to be??

Not really. I've had some stuff to do today, so have been doing that. If I'd been sat down I'd maybe put it on the tele for a bit but I don't really have any interest in them. I've watched various of their funerals and other events, will go and watch changing of the guard or some horsey thing if I happened to be walking by. I am not remotely offended by them like some people are I just put them in the same category of people I don't know doing things I don't care about

I binge watched all of last week's Eastenders. I'm not a royalist and think it's an outdated institution.

When we're in the middle of a cost of living crisis, when people can't afford their bills, it seems a little tactless to spend all that money and expect the 'little people' just to lap it up.

If it was younger royals I would have probably gone to the in-laws or paid to watch I guess but this is a near 80 year old man inheriting his mother hat. It’s really old oap gets fancy day to be richer oap.

william and Kate will be so old by the time they get it too that will seem pointless as well

My dad took me out my cot to "watch" the first man on the moon landing, I woke my son to see the fall of the Berlin Wall.

But watch an unfaithful spoilt old codger and his mistress get a new hat whilst the rest of the country is at breaking point.

No fucking thank you.

You might want to go back and read the first post again. That might make things a bit clearer for you.

I've been to a cafe for brunch and did my shop . Just watched 15 minutes of highlights- I am neutral about the monarchy in general, not anti it but would prefer a more Dutch/Danish kind of monarchy .

Work with animals. Sadly they won't wait whilst I sit and watch the coronation for hours on end.
