One location is the Holburne Museum front which doubles-up as a character's private home. Ironically, the real Queen Charlotte lived next door in a much less ostentatious building. She really was of mixed race, as can be seen when you look at the contemporary portraits of her. Think Megan.
I don't think I would ever subscribe to Netflix, mainly because there is so little on it which I want to watch. We creep in through the back door for things like The Queen and The Dig, but other than that the quality of the films is the only thing that appeals to me. Once you have watched HD, all those blurry You Tube videos become almost unbearable to watch. I was once given two bottles of Champagne - one costing about £10 and the other about £100. I made the mistake of drinking the expensive one first.
It's been a good week for photo opportunities - once with Rishi Sunak putting £30 of petrol into someone else's car (he wouldn't be seen dead in a Kia) then not knowing how to use his contactless card to pay for it, and the other when the prince and princess went to the most dangerous part of Jamaica and shook hands with some locals who put their outstretched hands through a wire fence. It was hard to tell who was inside and who was out - both literally and metaphorically.
I hear that Rishi Sunak's wife holds £40 million in shares to a Russian company and has just received £12 million in dividends. Awks. Nothing to do with Rishi, of course.
Poor Rishi. He was so popular when he was giving away money to anyone who asked for it, but now he is going to have to take it all back again, but not from companies like P&O. The poor will have to pay as usual.
My girlfriends and I love Bridgerton, but mostly for the lush costumes, elaborate sets, and sexy male leads. Our husbands are notably less enthusiastic!
ReplyDeleteSame in this household. I like the huge coloured wigs, though.
DeleteMy news stream stated Jamaica wants to become a republic. This was revealed when the prince and princess visited. Yes, to Bridgerton. I subscribe to Netflix and my son uses it more than I do. I could live without it.
ReplyDeleteYes they do. I think that the next generation of royals would not mind a bit, either. We need to cut down on sugar in any case.
DeleteToo bad Wills did not call home and get a better mea culpa speech from the home office. I actually felt sorry for the both of them, Wills and Kate.
ReplyDeleteIt sounded ill thought-out.
DeleteWould you now trust a chancellor who didn’t know how to buy a coke
ReplyDeleteNot as much as I would distrust a chancellor who drank it.
DeleteAs someone who once owned a Kia (hairdresser's car according to my daughter) no low digs at its status. Rishi has learnt a lesson about politics and cars. I suppose he is always chauffeured around but how he gets by without using a credit card god only knows.
ReplyDeleteI don't think his wife does the shopping either.
DeleteOh Tom - I thought it strange that Rishi (my MP by the way) was driving a Kia but I was much too trusting to think he would pull a fast one like that.
ReplyDeleteThe Kia belonged to someone who worked at the Sainsbury petrol station apparently, who got their petrol paid by the tax payer - even if he did claim it as expenses. He didn't even fill the tank. I suppose putting any more than 30 quids worth in would have highlighted the problem.
DeleteDishy Rishi is just an elitist tosser with no empathy exactly like the rest of them. How long will it be before one of them says "let them eat cake".
ReplyDeleteEffectively they have already said that.
