      Had that been the case, then I trust that all the objectors would have turned up to work as usual.....

          Not if their places of work were closed, as many of them likely would be.

              We'd just turn it into an anti-funeral party (although that might be mistaken for a wake), just like we did for Charles' (first) wedding (have 'Not the Royal Wedding' parties, that is).

                I've still got a "don't do it Di" badge somewhere

                  Me too - and a 'Y B A wife' badge, which I wore when I was a witness at a friends 'heterosexual' wedding (pinned to a black velvet jacket, accesorised with black nail varnish )

                      Not only that, but non-heterosexuals are apparently allowed to act as witnesses. There ought to be a law really.

                        I said the wedding was heterosexual, not the participants

                              It should have said..."whatever love means..."
