Who decides that everybody should be sad for eight days over Prince Philip?
I'm not gleeful, but I can't say that I'm properly glum, either. How do I get into the mood?

Declaring national mourning is about recognising the fact by public bodies. For example, it allows flags to be flown at half mast on public buildings. Individuals are not required to recognise it.

Here was one man from a number of European families which have been suppressing the rest of us for centuries.
Perhaps not mourning, but celebrating that there is one less snout in the Golden Trough?

I was phoned at about 7-7.30 for permission to fly my building's flag at half mast.

I've awarded myself a gamma -(?--) for my attempt to link your post with Hull University's alleged policy of devaluing understanding of proper English like what it ought to be said and writ.

Didn't see any MPs wearing black arm bands today, as half the half the media claimed they would.

Possibly a reference to Hull U's recent announcement that they are aren't going to deduct exam marks for semi-literate candidates (unless it's an English exam)?
Surely Hull hasn't been in the news for anything else?
