The abdominal surgery must have been pretty huge to expect a fortnight stay in hospital. I had a total gastrectomy and total vagotomy and only stayed ten days.

I remember buying my son “That’s not my puppy” 😁 I always think people who say not my king sound a bit silly. Not my prime minister, not my president, not my emperor, whatever.

People are chucked out too soon from NHS hospitals because their beds are desperately needed.
Rich folk in private facilities, not so much.

Wish her well.

I was in an nhs hospital for three weeks. One week to work out what was wrong with me then surgery then two weeks in hospital. Followed by three months off work

oh quite. My husband too. 10 days on AMU awaiting diagnosis. I was assuming though that this was planned surgery not requiring diagnosis. 3 weeks recovery is a long time in hospital.

‘Planned surgery’ is quite ambiguous really. It basically could mean anything that wasn’t an emergency rush (such as an accident). I guess mine could have been called a planned surgery because they told me they were going to operate in a couple of days (think it was after the weekend). A week earlier I had no idea I would be having any kind of surgery.

It's fairly obvious what those people are saying. They're not 'idiots' at all.

I don't think claims of 'Not my king/queen/royal family' are particularly hard to understand. The fact that we DON'T get a choice is likely to be a reason for a great number of 'not my...' voices. It's completely valid to say 'not my king,' to express a rejection of the concept of being a subject, or a personal view about Charles.

A nuance-free, reductive 'ya all IDIOTS' doesn't really contribute to a meaningful debate though.

There was a young woman called dragon
who jumped on the royal bandwagon
when they said “not my king”
she started to sing*
And drank cool aid out of a flagon

*probably the royal anthem.
