Interesting. Thanks

I saw that film on telly years ago and remember liking it and thinking it was a real feelgood film. I can't recall why or anything about it other than Burt Lancaster was in it and it's something to do with oil off the scottish coast.

Deleted opinion

I meant no offence… I have nothing personal against the individuals (in essence they are figureheads) indeed the Queen appeared to be a respectful and dutiful incumbent.. her passing, like that of all elders is sad and (in her case) poignant.

And I accept your point that (whilst I hold my view) this is not the place to discuss…

I have deleted

I just didn't want it to start a discussion that others might take too far.

I reckon if you built Disneyland UK just outside London it would see tourist numbers surpass those of Paris
