The out of towners only came to see HRH not to spend in our shops as our Councillors would like us to believe.

Sorry pedant's hat on here. I do wish people would not refer to the Queen as HRH - she is HM or Her Majesty. His or Her Royal Highness is only used for princes and princesses.

Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.

Went shopping in Aldi this afternoon, the car park was full to bursting, people driving around waiting for a space to become available.

I thought shopping will be difficult, how wrong I was, just me, the misses, and the staff in the store. Shortly after a couple more entered the store, I didn't feel so lonely then.

As we were leaving the store the royal car arrived at the roundabout with all the outriders, and I got to see the back of Her Majesties hat.

Even one of the fast food establishments in close proximity had a quieter day than he normally would.

Re: Queen to visit Accrington in May.

I like the Royal Family but I did call the queen some nasty names when I was trying unsuccessfully to get home from work because of the enormous backlog of traffic she caused, I suppose because of security and blocked off roads - I wonder if she has any idea of the chaos she leaves in her wake wherever she goes?
