Albert smith 11 #1 Posted February 18, 2018 My wake up call in the morning is usually a dig in the nicky nacky noos followed by the loving words ,"have we run out of tea bags or summat" But it appears that our good Queen Lizz has the ultimate of ultimate's in early morning calls. A Scottish piper pumps up his bag at precisely 9am and gives a good redering of Scotland the Brave for precisely 15 mins . The piper who performs this morning task is interviewed and specially chosen by our Monarch to make sure that he is up for it .

If a Scottish piper walked in my bedroom and started doing that he would get his bagpipes stuffed where the sun doesn't shine. ---------- Post added 18-02-2018 at 08:47 ---------- The queens lucky that her morning starts at 9.00 am,mine starts 3 hours earlier with a mumble and the occasional fart.

Albert smith 11 #4 Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) It reminds me of the knocker ups that would roam the streets at 4am in mining areas . Tapping on the back to back terrace bedroom windows with a long pole to make sure that the miners donned their clogs and skitled off to the pit four miles away . When they reached the pit they faced another 4 mile walk in the Earths bowels to reach the coyle face by 5am. By 9 o clock they had shifted 5 ton of coyle ,at the same time the Dukes of Welbeck or other stately homes who owned the pits (who were related to the Royal Family) would be summoning the maid to puff up their pillow and serve them breakfast in bed.

So far just being content to be alive, as for Lizz and her piper, this sort of out dated idiocy is one of the resons why I am an avowed republican.

ANGELFIRE1 10 #7 Posted February 19, 2018 So far just being content to be alive, as for Lizz and her piper, this sort of out dated idiocy is one of the resons why I am an avowed republican. I just wonder, what does the Piper do for the rest of the day after waking Lizzie up. Sounds like quite a good gig to me.

Chelle-82 10 #8 Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) I like the idea of being woken up in the morning by a bagpipe playing out a lovely traditional tune.. My current wake up call is the sound of my partners bowl movements.... Edited February 19, 2018 by Chelle-82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
