Perhaps we could have a Royal Big Brother to raise funds
"9am, in the big brother palace. Liz is walking the corgis while Charlie is chatting to the bonsai tree"
Kill two birds and that.
Would be good viewing that.

I know the BBC will show no comedy for
7 days when the queen dies. Won't change anything they haven't shown any for years.

The population will slide between sadness and irritability. In 2002, 130 people complained to the BBC about its insensitive coverage of the Queen Mother’s death; another 1,500 complained that Casualty was moved to BBC2.
If the Monarch dies you have to stump up for the day off.Question
Would you pay a full days wages out of your own pocket to say a tradesman you were employing on said funeral day if he wanted the day off?
I suspect the answer would be no, but it's no different to employing people when you have your own business why should a business pay for a days lost work it's just not fair
Having said that your post asks days off for a death in the royal family yes or no
When the queen mother had her funeral at work we offered the lads the day off without pay, no one took the offer up one or two however said "aye if we get paid"
This was never gonna happen in a small business if staff need to be paid why should an employer lose a days production, and pay for the privilege? Which brings it full circle to my first question
Bollocks - you put the KING in f***ing...It's 'gadgies' ffs!
Secondly I would not want to work in the porn industry, I want the sex I would get to be about love!
I can't remember if there was a day off when the QM popped her clogs, but I was away for a few days in London. At it happened, we played Arsenal that day (it was a Saturday). Didn't go to the match, but I wanted to find out the scores. Phoned a mate of mine at full time. Conversation went a bit like this. "We were shit, Arsenal were all over us. 3-0 final score. Want the other results? Bolton 3 Villa 2, Chelsea 2 Derby 1, Leicester 2 Blackburn 1, Queen Mother's dead, Liverpool 2 Charlton 0, Southampton 1 Fulham 1 ..." etc. Had on Dave, what?Can't remember it when the queen mother died. Don't think we got one for Diana either.
If the Queen or Prince Philip or Charles were to die would we get a day off?
Usually do the funeral on a Saturday don't they?

He'd been reading the scores from the Sky Sports ticker and that's what came up as he was reading them out! Funny as fuck.
Incidentally, her funeral was on a Tuesday.
It's that kind of enterprising spirit that made this country great.I was with a couple of mates in Central Park eating some lunch from a nearby deli. Got a text from my mate to say "The QM has fallen off the Royal Tree." We all just did a Jamie Oliver type flippant "don't give a shit" expression and carried on eating. Then it dawned on us all simultaneously that we could play this now tragic news to our advantage that evening.
So we positioned ourselves carefully in subsequent bars, looking sad and saying things like "That dear sweet old lady... she was the backbone of the British Monarchy.... what a sad day... etc" Some of the lasses got a bit confused and thought it was Queen Elizabeth who had died ("We'd be in tears then man!") but most were "extremely sympathetic" and gave out hugs and more to what they thought were grieving Brits. They're a funny bunch.
As a country we should have mourning periods, few days off work for a big wank imho.
Yes the LGB and amateur karaoke communities will be in tattersThere'll be one when Liam G dies.
Don't think we've ever had a Portugese forest fire mate.I was thinking this after the recent Portuguese forest fires and their 3 days of mourning. When was the last time the U.K. had one? Churchill's death or was that just a state funeral?
Funeral on a Saturday?
Great.
No day off, no football and the tele filled with weepy sycophantic wankers.
I imagine there won't be an official day of mourning and it'll be optional as to whether or not to give staff a day off - like the Royal wedding
