I persuaded the pub to make it a wedding-free zone. The TV was fixed to a sport channel and any customer caught so much as mentioning royalty or marriage was barred for the duration.

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

Good fun -- and custom increased fourfold overnight.
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.

Yup, GA, it's considered thoroughly modern to loudly express anti-royalist views and suggest hgher values (I'm simply anti-royalist). Most nay-sayers, though, will have been glued to their TVs yesterday.

Our own wee gag went down as something of a breath of fresh air. Whether that will result in sales or not is another question, but -- as I expected -- the headline itself was enough was enough to attract a huge increase in traffic to the blog, the site and the bookstore, so at least the title and blurb were seen.

And that's the first battle won. I've been professionally involved in mass media promotion for 45+ years and the toughest thing is to ecourage folks to read beyond the headline. Pretty well all's fair in love and promo -- just as long as nobody's hurt. Cheers. Neil

More telling, Steven, would be to check Harry's DNA. Neil

Here's an article about the English people's lack of enthusiasm for the wedding in the days leading up to it.
