I went once, bizarrely on the day Princess Diana died. It was full of people giving sidelong glances to everyone else, clearly thinking "So glad I'm not the only one here and not Caught Up in the Nations Grief". If there was one close to Cambridge I would be there more often, particularly as I now have a house to put stuff in...
I did not know of it until about 24 hours later, because we were in the USA (at Worldcon) and not paying attention to the news. I saw someone's newspaper in their hand and asked if the headline meant what it looked like it meant... and I have been incomparably more unhappy when someone I knew died.
I was in California at the time, and heard the news late at night, and woke my parents up in London, as soon as it was a reasonable hour. They didn't believe me at first. My American friends were all convinced that it was a conspiracy on the part of Royal Family to get rid of her.
Our son loves the Swedish meatballs. Sometimes we go just to do some food shopping.
