CameronL Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I thought that bit with the screens was strange - I did wonder if the Coronation was going a bit Siegfried & Roy and the screens taken away to reveal that Charles had turned into a white tiger. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initiation into that is far beyond the ken of yer average slob in the Abbey. Edit. Or it might be the part where Archbishop has to check that Sovereign has been circumcised.

I believe there is a Venerable Smasher of the Bog, whose responsibility it is to ensure that there is no possibility of such toilets being exploited for future commercial gain. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
