 Sp>> Its a bit odd with Her Maj kicking the bucket, but she's a been a bit of
 Sp>> a institution in her own right, let alone the monarchy.  She's been on that throne all my life. Feels like the end of
 Sp>> an era.. No idea if Chuck can keep the boat afloat or how much longer "The Firm" will persist without her.
yea it's all i've known too.. met her and the D of E when i did my Duke of Edinburgh award and also while i was in the ATC. As far as the King, I wish him well but i hope he doesnt get as political as he has been the past number of years. I hope he stays "impartial" as he should be like his mother was. 

 bo> It does feel a little like it is the end of an era, but I feel that the era of her reign really ended a decade or two
 bo> before. Britain has changed so much during her reign that whatever it was as the start, was gone long before her reign
 bo> ended.
the end of an era for sure. I mean, she was bought up in a completely different time and a societal nature and so much has changed, but from what i understand she was always the same all the way through and also was a bit of a joker as well considering how young she was when she was coronated.
