Good call Mazer! I will have one!

Or at the very least they could give/sell them to the sign stall at Clocktower Market where we got our street signs for our place.

Also, very pleased to see the old street signs on houses on Greenwich High Road are still there. .

“…the Royal Borough of Windsor…”

*coughs*

I think you will find it is the “Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead”!

I only mention it to defend my boyfriend’s royal honour as a born and bred Maidenhead boy!

[...] an MC’s job for him if the politics goes belly-up, you know. And then there were some fireworks. The sound’s a bit rubbish for the first minute, but bear with it, it’s impressive [...]

I think the event being in the area is a benefit, as the area as had little sporting events and this is an oppotunity for Greenwich. Plus, with the event being there it will help local business and also encorouge young people to get interested in sport, like horse riding.

And the comment that all the school books will be changed is… bizarre.

I still have yet to hear a single coherent argument as to why the awarding of a Royal Charter to Greenwich is anything other than an utter irrelevance. Realistically, what does this actually change?

The only argument of any kind I’ve heard to date is that there will be some kind of swelling of civic pride in the borough as a result. Seriously? Are we that feeble minded and suggestible that our feelings for Greenwich can be manipulated by the mere hint of an association with the monarchy?

I’m sure it’s been a nice little ego trip for our locally elected representatives, and no doubt allows them the pretence that they are more important, more worthy than they were yesterday (though I suspect these are feelings that were far from in need of a boost) and provide an excellent excuse for a knees up and a photo op.

Me? I’ll stick to looking forward to the Olympics and the genuine warm glow this will give me about my Borough and my City. At least that will provide something tangible.

Agree…why can’t they just mention its royal status rather than the ******* Olympics
