Announcement today that there is going to be a loooong BH weekend in June 2022 for the Queens 75th year of reign.
Problem is she could be dead by then & Charles or William could be King. She's 94 & it's in 19 months time. Maybe a tad early to be arranging & announcing this.......?

Then we'll celebrate what would have been her 75th anniversary.
Come on, golfie. Let your hair down.3 -
She's going to outlive Charles...3

2022 will be 70 years, not 751

In June 22, we'll be celebrating promotion to the Premier League, so good timing

2022 will be 70 years not 75 - HMQ's thrived for 94 years already, few signs of that changing - her mum made it to 101
When are they supposed to announce it? How long do you think it takes to plan for shutting roads all over the capital? No mileage in a bit of good news at the moment?
Anybody would think you're a pantomime grinch WUM, oh hang on... 🤦♀️2 -
To be honest I had the same thought. I suppose if she does pop her clogs before then it can turn into a celebration of her life and reign anyway.
Frankly as someone who isn't too bothered either way about the monarchy, I am just delighted for an extra bank holiday 🙂3 - Sponsored links:

They can use it for the coronation instead.2

The flaw is surely that it will be her 70th not her 75th.2

In70 years time we will announce a long bank holiday weekend to celebrate our next win over millwall.
The queen will be there to help with the celebrations.9 -

Ok, so its 70 years not 75.......but you get the point.
Yes, I also understand that it takes time to arrange things & the public & certain authorities want to get cracking with the logistics, but I still think 19 months notice is a big long. But this just me I suppose.0 -

I think 19 months is long enough to find a suitable male stripper.7

Well being self employed, a bank holiday is much the same as any other day to me.
If she's not around in June 2022, I think that the BH should be cancelled and all the rest of you buggers can work too.11 -
Bank holidays are not applicable when retired. Someone can have mine.1

Every day's a Bank Holiday when you're retired.

Bugger. It’ll spoil my birthday weekend.0

People who publish diaries, people who take bookings (hotels etc.) people who book sports and cultural events, people who code software... straight off the top of my head some of the many people who would want a nice long run in on any changes like this.golfaddick said:Ok, so its 70 years not 75.......but you get the point.
