Gary Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 You'd lose. The only way I'll see any coverage is if they show , what I imagine will be a 5 to 10 clip, at most, while I'm watching regional news - I certainly won't tune in specially. You'll see plenty of coverage on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 ElHamdo Lillah! I look forward to seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I googled Knutsford May pole Dancing , nice picture of people in skirts dancing round a may pole last year  I doubt 50% of Warrington will be out to see her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 You'll see plenty of coverage on here!   Good and I;m looking forward to seeing your coverage. Wonder if you will be allowed a personal interview and video opportunity  Sadly I can't go I've got a dentist appointment and if I don't go I loose my NHS dentist place... you'd think they'd let me off for the Queens visit. Maybe I should email HM and she could have a word with them  PS..... DO NOT CHANGE THIS TOPIC TO NHS OR DENTISTS AS I WILL DELETE YOUR POSTS  I must admit I do agree with a tiny weeny little bit of what Nick and Lt K say as I thought she would have been in Warrington for longer than 40 minutes.  It's a great pitty that she is not here for longer and only visiting the one place. I presumed there would be a specific route that she would travel along on a few roads on the outer stretches of Warrington centre so that people could see her (even if only passing through in her car for a wave) nearer to where they live.  The Orford Park building is out of town and hard from many people from the other sides of town to get to especially the elderly.  No good trying to get to Orford Park by car as it says there will be no parking anywhere and here's hoping Winwick Road is not at a complete stand still again like it was last week as the spcial shuttle busses would be standing still too.  Are schools closed on Thursday by the way ?  Anway other than the fact that I hoped she would be here for a little longer and spread out a little futher the only other thing to say is.. . . . . . . . . . . .

Dizzy Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I dance round the maypole every year in Knutsford and have done for many years now...... care to come and join us? Â Oh dear... that your manly street cred gone now Baz (if you had any of course before mentioning that). Â God save the Queen and all who dance with ribbons, plimsoles, little hats, long socks and oversized shirts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Do come along now Dizzy. Her Gracious Majesty is 86 years old and packing so much into one day. She will be coming to Warrington from visiting Chester and the zoo. Then from Warrington to Liverpool and who knows where after that. It's a hell of a schedule and a lot of travel for someone touching 90 (Incidently the duke, who will be accompanying her is already 90). Many people much younger (60/70) find it such a strain just getting out of bed let alone contemplating such a heavy agenda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Tessla Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Well covered Gary - again,,, nothing on bbc or itv news that I saw   So anyone who said it was worth the expense because it was such great publicity for Warrington and would improve the image of the town, wrong!!  At least Terry O'Neill had a nice day out!

ITN news was the same. That's not very fair is it, but maybe it was because she was inside a building here rather than out and about   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Looks like it was a great occasion for Warrington. My sister said that Her Gracious Majesty spoke to her. She was over the moon. My only regret was not being there to witness the visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 it was pointless we should not have a royal family she does nothing for the country she lives in an over sized council house and has no say what so ever the only time she has power is in a) state of emergency and when parliament is not sitting and also i heard we covered up the statue of old moley when she came why?!?!?
