@F1 Husband sat in the queue for an hour. Apparently all sold out. Go on to vivago and look at all the tickets apparently available!! The original ticket price was around £58-113 with O2.
Hospitality had tickets at £400+ each.
@F1 Well they aren't all sold out!! Because you can buy a package through a hospitality agent for £400+ each. Disgusting way to treat real fans!! My son is F1 obsessed and he wants to be an F1 engineer. He would have LOVED this, but can't afford those prices!! 😢
😢 I really wanted to get tickets to the @F1 event at the O2 arena for my son, but after an hour in the queue. All sold out apparently!! My son is mad about F1 and wants to be an F1 engineer. Oh but it's ok there's tickets with hospitality centres for £489 each!! #F1#O2arena
Things I learned from this episode-
Casey is a shit stirrer
Marnie is STILL a drama queen
People are still talking behind Charlottes back
Chloe needs to stop listening to everyone else and just sort her issues out!!

On November 7th, 1920, in strictest secrecy, four unidentified British bodies were exhumed from temporary battlefield cemeteries at Ypres, Arras, the Asine and the Somme.
None of the soldiers who did the digging were told why.
The bodies were taken by field ambulance to GHQ at St-Pol-Sur-Ter Noise. Once there, the bodies were draped with the union flag.
Sentries were posted and Brigadier-General Wyatt and a Colonel Gell selected one body at random. The other three were reburied.
A French Honour Guard was selected and stood by the coffin overnight of the chosen soldier overnight.
On the morning of the 8th November, a specially designed coffin made of oak from the grounds of Hampton Court arrived and the Unknown Warrior was placed inside.
On top was placed a crusaders sword and a shield on which was inscribed:
"A British Warrior who fell in the GREAT WAR 1914-1918 for King and Country".
On the 9th of November, the Unknown Warrior was taken by horse-drawn carriage through Guards of Honour and the sound of tolling bells and bugle calls to the quayside.
There, he was saluted by Marechal Foche and loaded onto HMS Vernon bound for Dover. The coffin stood on the deck covered in wreaths, surrounded by the French Honour Guard.
Upon arrival at Dover, the Unknown Warrior was met with a nineteen gun salute - something that was normally only reserved for Field Marshals.
A special train had been arranged and he was then conveyed to Victoria Station, London.
He remained there overnight, and, on the morning of the 11th of November, he was finally taken to Westminster Abbey.
The idea of the unknown warrior was thought of by a Padre called David Railton who had served on the front line during the Great War the union flag he had used as an altar cloth whilst at the front, was the one that had been draped over the coffin.
It was his intention that all of the relatives of the 517,773 combatants whose bodies had not been identified could believe that the Unknown Warrior could very well be their lost husband, father, brother or son...
THIS is the reason we wear poppies.
We do not glorify war.
We remember - with humility - the great and the ultimate sacrifices that were made, not just in this war, but in every war and conflict where our service personnel have fought - to ensure the liberty and freedoms that we now take for granted.
Every year, on the 11th of November, we remember the Unknown Warrior.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
If you wanted proof of how much Britain has changed, here it is.
One can only imagine what all those brave, selfless, British soldiers, sailors & airmen, who fought against those who tried, but failed, to wipe out the Jews in WW2, would think of this.
I weep for Britain.❤️🇮🇱
A Nurse can buy a single sandwich for £3 in the hospital cafeteria and she has to pay.
An MP can get British Beef and potato paprika goulash for £3.19 and then make you pay.
They also get free parking and Nurses pay £1300.
I know who deserves a pay rise.
In case you missed this bit of info 👉 “…Prince Harry’s barrister, told the high court on Monday that the Mirror’s mass-deletion of emails potentially relating to Harry’s case was damning”. Couldn’t agree more! Where have we seen this playbook before? #MurdochGutterMedia
