Re: King Charles picture

Saw ours languishing in the head's office a few days ago, it will likely sit in a corner gathering dust.
Just waiting for the call sometime this year to clean it and put it up at the last minute before some minor dignitary arrives.
There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.

Yep, free to schools but coming out of the government funds to the tune of £8 million. What a waste.

Might just use a self adhesive stamp

Why do them come with re-sealable lids?

Re: King Charles picture

Not sure if our school has requested one. Are they in landscape because of his ears? I can already hear the increasing sound of distant police sirens.. [Big grin.png]

Slightly off topic:
I had an uncle that was an anti-royalist, back in the dark ages when we still had outside toilets, he would save pictures of the queen from newspapers and hang them up in his outside toilet, saying that’s where the whole royal family belong. Granted he was a bit strange but harmless except for his beliefs I suppose.
Back on topic:
£8 million, I agree what a waste…
I think I can also hear the sound of police sirens now? [Scared.png] [Big grin.png]
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it... [Crazy.png]

Re: King Charles picture

We are the 7th richest economy on the planet and we still have people hungry and homeless.
Until these and other issues are addressed and others then yes I agree a waste of money.
Perhaps do what a previous post suggested by downloading a picture and frame it .
wake me up before you gogo.
