Me too. BBC news last night devoted half it's programme on this subject. Did Grenfall or Manchester get that much coverage?

Ok it's just two people getting engaged but some cheerful news featuring a ginger and an American who isn't a complete ar$e is quite refreshing! I'm happy for Harry, he seems a good sort and she isn't a blonde society bimbo.

Yeah, sick of hearing about it already - and it will be discussed and dissected 'ad nauseum' until the wedding. Gives the womans mags something to chew over.

Wonder if James Hewitt will be getting an invite ? https://rochdaleherald.co.uk/2017/11...ys-engagement/

Hopefully a national holiday will be announced and on the day we can all go out and play on two wheels on quiet roads . . .

Flat batteries/batteries that wont hold their charge especially evident when the temperature takes a drop. Damn fiddly to get the battery off and on a Speedmaster. Who designs this stuff?

OMG I misread the headlines as 'Prince Harry to marry Megan Merkel' - thought we were trying to forge an alliance with Germany through marriage....
