Result ... page leads all round for the happy weddingless pub in all UK national press and TV. The only refuge in Britain.

I frequent a couple of other forums, one on jazz and the other on traditional wetshaving.
I have been very surprised to see the near universal antipathy the Brits on those forums have toward the Royal Family. It's as if they are more popular in America than they are in the UK.
