Right... she would be wearing brown and yellow. So your point is what, exactly?

Yes, there was a lot of black about - I noticed even some of the correspondents on Sky were in full-black attire and I'm 90% certain they weren't earlier in the day, but again, possibly just co-incidence.

If the Queen had died, Cabinet would be meeting right now, and the official opposition would be consulted. Given that the Foreign Secretary is in Luxembourg and the leader of HM's Opposition is in Blackpool, I think it's pretty unlikely.

I have to agree this thread is utter comedy. Talk about a serious case of newbies getting their knickers in a twist and trying to make themselves look good! Amazing.


I can't believe five pages ago I said this was rubbish, and this thread is still going!

Right - I was in work ALL DAY TODAY and I can tell you there is NOTHING GOING ON. Can someone please, for the love of God, lock this thread. It's making this place look an utter embarrassment.

THERE IS NOTHING GOING ON!

I suppose you asked why everyone was wearing black then?

Perhaps you could enlighten us?

Yes, because that's plausible.

Perhaps before shouting like a teenager about closing threads based on speculation; you might consider giving less glib replies to them.

Margaret Thatcher?

You'd get your best party clothes out for that.

Apart from On Here Nowhere else seems to be chatting about this topic!

Definitely one of the more pointless 'big' threads this year and on tvf that is an achievement.

It was a joke, Gavin, as you well know. I don't know or care why 'all' the anchors (and I'm sorry, it wasn't all of them) were wearing black. I had access to ENPS all day and not once did I see any advisory that anything was amiss. And, to be honest, if anything WAS amiss I would have been told. This is a totally ridiculous thread, it really is. It typifies this forum at the moment.

Yes, but as someone quite rightly said yesterday (I think it was Gavin actually), this topic - however ridiculous - has kept TVF alive for a bit.

I did wonder why that picture had been posted. The most pointless post in the most pointless thread.
