[Albion] Coronation Day. King or Albion?

[Clive Walker]

In Cornwall when an individual dies with no will or surviving relatives their property (or 'estate') passes to the Duke of Cornwall. The same is true on the dissolution of a company registered in Cornwall where any remaining assets pass to the Duke of Cornwall. This is known as bona vacantia!

Scum!

Forget the cost issue what this should be about is the principle of hereditary public office which is completely outdated and undemocratic.

It's absolutely ludicrous that we are elevating someone to a position of power and influence based on nothing more than what family he was born into, and where theres absolutely no mechanism to hold him and his wider family to account.

great for employees, not great so for employers. business owners having to pay another days worth of salaries for nothing in return.

It depends how productive the workforce are in the four working days that week. A decent employer will have a motivated workforce wanting to work hard for them.

There have also been many studies showing a regular 4-day working week can actually increase productivity through better employee morale and lower stress levels.

It's funny, while I've never been a monarchist (as you will discover) I grew quite fond of the old Queen in a way. She'd been a constant throughout my life and had done some things recently - The Olympics film and Paddington sketch spring to mind - which humanised her. I came to think of her as a benign leader with a troubled family and, perhaps, better than say a President Johnson or President Farage.

On the other hand my brain can't but associate the word "King" with history, Shakespeare, battles won, suits of armour and grand feasts. So the idea I have to use it for that jug-eared, adulterous plant botherer is simply not going to happen.

I'll probably take the dog for a long walk when the time comes.

I don’t think you guys here in England appreciate how special it is to have a king . Particularly as Charles seems such a nice man who only wants to do good . I’m respectful of him and the position he holds even if he isn’t my King as I’m not English .

I’m surprised there isn’t more patriotism here . With your history there really should be .

It’s because our national hobby is self loathing, you’re not British if you don’t pick and pull everything to pieces that’s good about this country. Patriotism was banned in the 90s anyway. Unlike every other country in the world it’s deemed racist. Rule Britannia (waits to be arrested!)

They can take it out of their excessive profits made from fleecing the rest of us.

Depends on the business you are in. If your machine needs someone to run it, if they’re not there, the machine doesn’t make it.
Works for office based creative skill businesses, but rate based equipment that needs an employee to operate it will lose out on 20% output for this working week independently of that companies “productivity“.

 

[Eeyore]

I don't even know when the coronation is and am less inclined to look. I thought he was already king.

 

[Ludensian Gull]

You don’t know how much golf he’s going to play

Or how long it'll take him to get round

 

[CheeseRolls]

same as anyone who does a bit of planning. zero.

Or just owns a "farm"!

 

[Clive Walker]

Just to keep everyone in the loop. The stone of destiny has left Scotland en route to London for the coronation.

Its basically a big rock like any other. You literally cannot make this shit up. What a waste of money and total farce!

Depends on contracts, many employees will lose a days holiday when there is an extra bank holiday
