We had our iwn business at the time, a small garden centre in Devon.
I remember feeling really p1ssed of that I was pressured in to shutting for the morning of the funeral. I knew if I didn't there would have been bad publicity for us.
I find the whole royal thing an unsavoury pantomime.

Luckily I was away on holiday in Spain when she died and missed the whole Nation in mourning nonsense as we only returned a few days after the funeral.

I was at work on the day of the funeral, and as we were quiet I was outside cleaning my car.
I was told by the duty officer that I should be watching the funeral, 'not cleaning your bloody car'
When I explained that I didn't know her and that she meant nothing to me he went into a rage stating that as a serving serviceman it was my duty to watch anything remotely associated with Royalty.
Yep, in one ear'ole and out the other !!
The whole thing of this nationwide outpouring of grief was just cringeworthy
And bloody Elton John jumping on the bandwagon was a proper p*ss take. I much preferred the tribute he did for Mother Teresa, 'Sandals in the Bin' !!

"That's a word about women's bodies." No it isn't. It's got nothing to do with women's bodies. It's a word denoting an unpleasant woman. And I have no qualms about using it. No, I wouldn't use a racist expression. Racist expressions express dislike for the person on account of their race. 'Bitch' doesn't express dislike of someone because they're a woman; it expresses dislike of someone because of the way they behave. True, you can only use it of a woman, but I have no problem with that. If women don't want it used of them, all they need do is not behave in such a way to merit it.
It's what she would have wanted.

Woken up stupidly early by my toddler, I stuck the radio on and in my brain addled sleep deprived state, thought it was John Major that had died!
I passed up a chance to meet her a couple of years before when I was attending a mental health conference. She was going to do a walk about and talk to the delegates about their various projects but it meant passing up on a free lunch. I chose to go and stuff me face! Thought my colleague was going to wet herself with excitement!

"Boorish" isn't often used of women, I don't think. By your own argument, it is difficult to see why it shouldn't be used in response to your post.
Do you not understand that "bitch" is a perjorative of the woman, not a description of her behaviour?

I was in the shower when Mrs SJ rushed in and exclaimed rather formally, "Lady Diana, the Princess of Wales has died".
Later that week I was on a driving lesson with a young female pupil when we passed a shop with a newspaper A board containing some headline or other about Di. Without thinking I said, "Oh for Christ sake, not this again". Her reply was, "I'm glad you said that, I thought it was only me".
On the day of the funeral the brother of another pupil crashed his car into a wall when the Elton John tribute song came on the radio and he was leaning down trying to turn the volume up.

It was, I spent the morning in the gym with only one other person for company.
