I like your thinking :)

Ukrules, if you had the intelligence to actually read and comprehend the article you would see that buying food and drink in bars and restaurants will be allowed during this period. However owners of these premises might decide to close on certain days out of personal respect for the late king. And others may decide to cut out or reduce the impact of things like music and dancing.

I read these rules last week sometime as they were posted elsewhere.

 

the point is this means its up to the local police. They will turn up at the last minute if they can be bothered and close places.

There's a replica pyre being built in C'Mai. Anyone know if it's going to burn too?

What a poor way to respond with " if you had the intelligence to actually read and comprehend the article".

You mean because of the split infinitive?

What usually happens is that the first response can be sensible; but within two or three responses, all sorts of baggage and goo comes pouring out and before you know where you are, you think you're reading a newspaper from a different galaxy.

 

Some contributions are well meaning and harmless, others are clueless or vicious and so on.
