Just a friendly reminder to all Commonwealth citizens

Coronation: Public invited to swear allegiance to King Charles

Loyal Canadians should not forget to wake up at 4:00am ET to swear their allegiance to their new majesty.
2:00 AM for Edmonton and 1:00AM for Vancouver.
Be sure to put it on your calendar.

You can thank me later.  It's optional for Malta, being totally independent, but if Maltese want to join in, feel free to look up the correct time.

French citizens currently living in Canada are dispensed from swearing allegiance due to cultural exceptions.  Something to do with the guillotine, apparently.

I will remember to dump some tea down the sink.

That's a euphemism, isn't it?

Just pay your damn taxes

Yet again I'm annoyed that Malta's referendum to become part of the UK wasn't honoured

Definitely the strangest place I've ever visited as a British tourist.

[Richard Hakluyt]

I really like Malta, a fascinating place, the density of interesting places there is incredible

Definitely the strangest place I've ever visited as a British tourist.

What was strange?

[Josquius]

I eagerly await the recordings of absolute wastes screaming at their tele

[celedhring]

What happens if I recite the pledge of allegiance?

And if I do it three times in front of a mirror?

My husband suggested I participate as practice.

I'm Maltese and Canadian. Is it optional?

How so? I'll be back there next month

[Sheilbh]

What was strange?

There are things about it that feel very, very British in a way that I found quite jarring given the setting, climate and everything else about Malta

I can't describe it well but it was like you're on holiday in a Mediterranean island and then there'd be moments when the fourth wall would and home would be staring at you.

Yeah I liked it a lot. Gozo was also well worth a visit.

[garbon]

Yeah I asked as I visited as an American so wondered if there was something subtle that I missed.

Yeah - it's not like it's a tourist area knowing there'll be loads of Brits (or Americans) so there's things that are recognisably British.

It's been ages since I was there and there's been an entire pandemic in between - so I can't remember any specific examples. I just remember a few times have that sense - almost deja vu-y - of seeing something I didn't expect on holiday/in another country.
