Information here may be outdated?
A minute's silence demeans the 11 AM silence for all those who died in 1914 - 1918 defending the Brit monarchy against the Kraut monarchy.
Just who do they think they are, this handful of families who have been on an ego trip for centuries and suppressing the common men in Europe?
It was very much so, with all the monarchies and empires of Europe rubbing up against each other, Britain, Germany, Prussia, Austria-Hungary, Russia and the Ottoman just to name a few.
Don't worry you will get a second chance not to see them soon, I'm sure. My gripe this week has been the lack of fun stuff on bbc local radio, it seems you can only have one bit of fun in a show, since any more might be disrespectful and no you cannot play requests they have to be chosen from a play list the bbc uses in times of mourning. However many of these tunes seem to be mindless crap modern shallow wallpaper music. Brian
I've been using Radio Garden and playing Radio Sydney, etc.
