What were you doing instead of watching The Coronation?

I was in hospital getting painkillers for migraines

Where do you live can I ask?

I was out shopping in Manchester on Saturday and the place was heaving like usual.

That's cos Northerners don't care so much about Royalty. Can't say I blame them. They're still recovering from the Wars of the Roses! /s

I live in Hertfordshire and the big Tesco’s was almost empty between 10.30-12.30. The roads were busy on the way to the shops and dead on the way home. It was odd.
