I HAVE A BIG Christmas wish. I don’t know if Santa can fulfil it or not. My one wish this Christmas is that I never have to see another six hours of drivel about Meghan and Harry.

I have always been a Royal watcher. My mom had some souvenir glossy-finished books when Elizabeth became Queen. Meeting the Queen and Prince Philip when they visited Terrace in the 1950’s made me a fan.

  1. Not that there are many documentaries put together by real journalists about real issues. But would you then complain that those documentaries are far too left-wing for you to watch, learn and enjoy? Which would then prompt you to clamour having wasted your time when you could’ve been watching “real” documentaries put together by “real” journalists about “real” things?
