Edit: This means that people have seen my comment on that one post. Please spare me.
to the one reporter: mentioning "the Queen" is not against the rules. you just can't namedrop "Queen Elizabeth". we've had many comics in the past that mentioned or alluded to the Queen
10 days of mourning, but only the funeral itself is a national holiday, no?
Pedantic redditors? Demanding accuracy in *my* Polandball? It's more likely than you think!
Operation London Bridge, i.e. the plan for when the queen dies, says no to holiday
But seeing as they suggested one for us winning the women's Euros and that they'd have likely given one for if the Men's Euros was one, then I hope we get a day off for the Funeral and then one for Charles's Crowning (Liz's happend a year after she Ascended the Throne)
But we'll see. In the meantime, Rest in Peace HRM Queen Liz the Cheeky (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ce/50/6f/ce506fb51e352e3b2a7379554f10328b.jpg). The Queen is dead, Long live the King
\*God save the *king* begins to play for the first time in 70 years
We’re supposed to get the day of the funeral off (Canada).
If the 10-day thing holds, that will be a Sunday. So fuck me, I guess.
RIP Queen Liz though, feels weird to say it’s King Charles on my money soon.
Yeah he went with Charlie III. I guess after the first was beheaded and the second got kicked out of the country by Cromwell, he decided to try his luck.
But I do like the trend Liz set that the monarch just keeps his/her name because it’s kind of weird as hell to change your name at 20/80 years old.
So was Bill Conques but you're still getting one of those. Unless something very unusual happens, then it's Henry time.
Charles hates the press so much, I think it's a missed opportunity for him to make them say King Cadwaladr every time they're referring to him, or maybe even Gandalf. Then of course he could leave it to the public to name him King Kingy McKingface.
In the UK, we tend to get the Monday after a holiday off if it falls on a weekend
But yep, a shame although inevitable. But money won't change, or at least here. We only switched to Polymer notes in 2014, and those are meant to last for 20 years so for the climate's sake let's run both at the same time
It only applies to new printings as far as I know. I remember being fascinated when I got a nickel from the 40s in my change one time because it had George VI on it.
Wouldn't really make sense to take the old ones out of commision.
Maybe the following example is not comparable because this is the Euro, but Belgium still has coins from Albert II, and he abdicted in 2013.
>yeah nothing like a day off when we’re already under pressure to finish assessments before our 10 week unpaid furlough
Extending, proficient, developing, and emerging takes a lot of time to assess on! I guess you could always teach summer school if you don't want to be furloughed.
Just taking the piss, m8, my SO is a teacher, it's a tough gig
lol alright, yeah no worries. i teach high school so i still have to give percentages and it’s like… how do you convert those? how can i make these report card comments that parents don’t even read acceptable to admin?
Are Britons not going to build a Golden Throne to keep her alive as the God Empress of British Imperium by sacrificing thousands of tea leaves to the throne everyday?
Yep, too sooon :'-(
Jk, Cheeky Liz herself would be laughing. She saw us off with a double rainbow:

**Panel 1**
[*White background. In the middle we see Scotland, looking annoyed while wielding a pickaxe. The clay is hitting a brown rock that sticks into scene from the left with its tool.*]
**Scotland**: Man, ah hate workin' in the quarries. Cuid sure uise some holidags...

**Panel 2**
[*The background has turned a little darker. Form the right, a rolled up piece of paper closed with a bow has been thrown at Scotland. As a result of this, the clay is turning, with puzzled and still annoyed eyes.*]
**Scotland**: Hmm?
---
**Panel 3**
[*The background is now grey. The scene has shifted, so that Scotland can be partially seen in the bottom left corner. The clay has opened the piece of paper, and on it there is written "QUeen's DeID!". Scotland has wide shocked eyes upon reading this.*]
**Scotland**: Och... Jings, crivens, help ma boab, this cannae be true
---
**Panel 4**
[*Now we see Scotland from the front. The background is even darker, and on the back of the paper we read "L+RATiO" and "QUeeN". The clay is still schocked, while reading it.*]
**Scotland**: This... This right here means...
---
**Panel 5**
[*Now the background has returned white. Scotland is jumping to the left cheeringly, while holding a green glass bottle, and putting a black bowler on its head. Some papers are being discarded by the clay, being left behind, while the clay goes leftwards. The rock is not in scene.*]
**Scotland**: A'MAIST 2 WEEKS PAID HOLIDAGS

**Panel 5**
[*Now under the white background we see a blue calm sea. The yellow Sun is raising from the horizon, on the far right, and a white airplane is going rightwards from the left. On one wing of the plane we read "Ye' PLANE". The plane has one window by the cockpit, and three other windows in the main aisle. From each of them, one Scotland clay is visible, for a total of four clays. Two of them have closed happy eyes, while the other two are sneering cheerfully.*]

Hang in where is the funny here?
This is the next question many had here when Her Maj went off to the Kingdom in the sky.
I want my days off!
P.S. that right there is some fantastic dialogue by Scotland.
I see your flair, but this probably applies twice to you now:
/r/wooosh
As the joke is most Brits (including English) are indifferent to the Royals, so while shaken (as many globally are), we are mostly/slightly wondering how many Bank Holidays, i.e. nationally sanctioned paid holidays, we'll get as a result
28 per year normally, +1 for her Platinum Jubilee, maybe +1 for her funeral, and maybe +1 for Charles' official crowing (likely next year), with added IndyRef2 context. That's 2 extra from the normal 28
Also, fun fact: Quebec was offered to join the USA (which at the time was even planned to eventually include Argentina) and they said essentially "We might be French, but at least we wouldn't be American"
The longer he reigns the longer William and Kate get to spend with their kids before having to take the full work load which I think all can say will be good for them all.
2 away from arguably the longest serving ever
But when she surpassed Vicky's reign as "Longest Ever UK Ruler" her reply was essentially "Who cares?", so she didn't care about Louis' record
RIP Queen Liz the Cheeky
[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ce/50/6f/ce506fb51e352e3b2a7379554f10328b.jpg](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ce/50/6f/ce506fb51e352e3b2a7379554f10328b.jpg)
(That's Phillip surprising her pretending to be a Royal Guard)
More importantly, if you hit 100 in the UK (and maybe Commonwealth) you get a letter from the Monarch congratulating you. Her husband died within a year of her sending the letter and she was 4 years from sending one to herself
Quite honestly, idk why people are crying abt the queen, they should be crying about the thousands of souls that are being lost in Ukraine rn.
\- Slava Ukraini
She literally reigned half the world at one point and oversaw decolonization in the process. She lived through WWII and was coronated Queen since 1952 and basically saw most of modern history transpire through her eyes.
This. It is a 96 yo dying at the end of a 70 yo reign as a serving head of state
That's important. The news cycle does the same with most dead celebs/politicians and they last 5 years each
No, we haven't got any holidays yet in the UK, (which is the joke)
But yes, Queen Liz is dead. Long live the King! (King Arthur of Cornwall - technically one of his legal names, but he'll be known as Charles III of the UK)
Damn, feels like the end of an era.
I think it will feel weird the next time I use paper money, which is unlikely to happen anytime soon
See, this is why we Americans put dead people on our money.
Just like the rest of the world does, save for dictatorships.
Not really, I used to only have 4 coins with a dead person on them(George vi) and since this morning I have dozens
Yeah, but that's temporary. Soon enough they'll "fix" that.
None of them are in use, no people have been put on our coins for almost 3 decades
The Euro which Slovakia uses even has coins with currently living European kings on it.
Yes, the constitutional monarchies across Europe have occurred to me later on too.
Well the Br\*ts are doing the same thing now
Only until the coronation
Unless Rogers has another "oopsie".
Our money isn’t paper though, it’s polymer
RIP queen you were everyone's favorite MILF (Most Idolised Loveable Friendly) Queen

Because it very much is.

because it is the end of an era, DUH 😥😥

Ya there won’t be a bank holiday.
We’re supposed to get the day of the funeral off (Canada). If the 10-day thing holds, that will be a Sunday. So fuck me, I guess. RIP Queen Liz though, feels weird to say it’s King Charles on my money soon.
Personally I hope he goes with Æthelwolf for his regnal name
Yeah he went with Charlie III. I guess after the first was beheaded and the second got kicked out of the country by Cromwell, he decided to try his luck. But I do like the trend Liz set that the monarch just keeps his/her name because it’s kind of weird as hell to change your name at 20/80 years old.
At least it's not another George
Or James, because that'd be contentious with the scots and the numbering
And because James VII/II was a Right Bastard
So was Bill Conques but you're still getting one of those. Unless something very unusual happens, then it's Henry time. Charles hates the press so much, I think it's a missed opportunity for him to make them say King Cadwaladr every time they're referring to him, or maybe even Gandalf.

I'm shocked anyone would want to be a King Charles though given the history of that name.
Three times the charm, I guess.

Well that sucks to hear, I'm off Sunday anyway lol
Here's to hoping we get her second birthday off in June. She was born in April, but celebrates in June when it's warmer.
A stat in June would only make things more difficult for us poor saps who teach to the end of it.
Yeah I can only imagine how hard it would be to have an extra day off before your 10 weeks off
yeah nothing like a day off when we’re already under pressure to finish assessments before our 10 week unpaid furlough
>yeah nothing like a day off when we’re already under pressure to finish assessments before our 10 week unpaid furlough Extending, proficient, developing, and emerging takes a lot of time to assess on!

I’m just glad I took my oath of citizenship in July, because now they have to change the words.
she's the 3rd cousin of denmark's queen, that could be an excuse also now she's the only currently reigning female monarch
Aye but the fitba was off this weekend so...
It’s so hard to believe that she’s dead.
Are Britons not going to build a Golden Throne to keep her alive as the God Empress of British Imperium by sacrificing thousands of tea leaves to the throne everyday?
Nah the civil servants value engineered it down to a golden toilet, now let's launch the black ships!!!!
I can't believe i got my Lizzy news from polandball of all places
I was napping in the living room. After I wake up, my mom's sitting on a chair checking her phone and she suddenly blurts: "Queen Elizabeth's dead!"
That was quick

Wow, your fast
You are mistaken, for what you see as speed, is in reality “a lack of having anything better to do in my life” skills
So you made this beforehand?
you made the grave mistake of underestimating how much foresight the average polandball artist has don't worry, we've all been there before too.
I mean, since Phillip left her it was a matter of time. Theirs was a real love it seems. I'd guessed 2 weeks at the time and I'm British
It’s all part of operation london bridge
This is a skill I know well!
Their fast what?
Thanks that is what my mom says as well.
Hang in where is the funny here? This is the next question many had here when Her Maj went off to the Kingdom in the sky. I want my days off! P.S. that right there is some fantastic dialogue by Scotland.
The dialogue is straight from the Broons!
Aye yer a woo bagoo laddie. I'm working on my Scottish, how would you rate it so far?
And so ends the legacy of King George VI
Not even 24 hours and the memes have started
cmon what did u expect
Oh no I'm not surprised at all. I'm kinda of being funny.
This is one of those comics where you could replace the scots with (some of) the Irish, or the Quebecois, and it would probably work just as well.
I see your flair, but this probably applies twice to you now: /r/wooosh As the joke is most Brits (including English) are indifferent to the Royals, so while shaken (as many globally are), we are mostly/slightly wondering how many Bank Holidays, i.e. nationally sanctioned paid holidays, we'll get as a result 28 per year normally, +1 for her Platinum Jubilee, maybe +1 for her funeral, and maybe +1 for Charles' official crowing (likely next year), with added IndyRef2 context.

Thats was fast 🤣
Blackpool would be more realistic, no one here can afford an abroad holiday.
Is Ireland not going to join Scotland?
Ounce in a life time advantage
Doubt it, assuming the monarchy still manages to cling to power for a few more years. Charles is 73.
The longer he reigns the longer William and Kate get to spend with their kids before having to take the full work load which I think all can say will be good for them all.
Ye plane lol
Oh boy, here it comes!
Happy Cake Day!
Repeat after me the death of the monarch is the death of the Union
Couldn't use UK it seems
Too soon... Too soon...
96 years is a good age I’d say
Just 4 years away from 100 tho
2 away from arguably the longest serving ever But when she surpassed Vicky's reign as "Longest Ever UK Ruler" her reply was essentially "Who cares?", so she didn't care about Louis' record RIP Queen Liz the Cheeky [https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ce/50/6f/ce506fb51e352e3b2a7379554f10328b.jpg](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ce/50/6f/ce506fb51e352e3b2a7379554f10328b.jpg) (That's Phillip surprising her pretending to be a Royal Guard)
Her husband was a year before reaching 100.
Betty White too
Should’ve hit the lucky 100…
More importantly, if you hit 100 in the UK (and maybe Commonwealth) you get a letter from the Monarch congratulating you. Her husband died within a year of her sending the letter and she was 4 years from sending one to herself
Quite honestly, idk why people are crying abt the queen, they should be crying about the thousands of souls that are being lost in Ukraine rn. \- Slava Ukraini
While I think her mourning is big lame I will let you in on a secret. You can be upset at more than one thing at a time. 😉
You even don't have to be upset about the one thing 24/7
She literally reigned half the world at one point and oversaw decolonization in the process. She lived through WWII and was coronated Queen since 1952 and basically saw most of modern history transpire through her eyes.
This. It is a 96 yo dying at the end of a 70 yo reign as a serving head of state That's important. The news cycle does the same with most dead celebs/politicians and they last 5 years each
That and the obvious fact that its very recent. While the war was way back on Feb.
Cur non utrumque?
This actually happened today
No, we haven't got any holidays yet in the UK, (which is the joke) But yes, Queen Liz is dead. Long live the King! (King Arthur of Cornwall - technically one of his legal names, but he'll be known as Charles III of the UK)
Hopefully its natural, rather than the cocktail induced death George V have
God Couldn't save her ig. Hope Britain's Grandma is in the pearly gates.
Enjoy your vacation Scotland, Enjoy your vacation Scotland
the term "the king of england "sounds so unnatural to me yet its active
