Hey, I’m an old fuddy duddy, but I agree, the opening ceremonies were horrific. The writer of this article makes the mistake of referring to Great Britain as “England”...a pet peeve of mine. Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales comprise Great Britain and it should be referred to as such, not as England. This half baked, nonsensical ceremony was held in England, the country is Great Britain. When the author further remarks Scotland, England and Ireland make the country great, he totally omits Wales, which must peeve the Welsh. How did the Queen get talked into the buffoonery of “parachuting in”, bloomers and all, even in jest, I felt was an indignity. I admire the Queen, she should neither laugh at herself, or permit others to,if she intends the monarchy to survive. In earlier times, such a spoof would have resulted in “off with their heads”. OK...yield the soapbox for now.
Or at least, "We are not amused."
