I don't often go to the cinema even though as a retired person I can go for a very small amount of money - in fact today my husband and I with our 'Orange Wednesday' tickets paid just £5 for the two of us. Great value.
We saw a new film called 'The King's Speech' which shocked us both to realise how little we remember of when we had a King on the throne. I can bearly remember not having Elizabeth as our Queen but the film today gave us a glimpse (Hollywood permitting) of what a struggle her father had to overcome a speech impediment in the days when sufferers were judged to be less than perfect overall: thankfully nowadays many people in the very front line of entertainment or politics care not a jot for the fact that they are unable to pronounce their words correctly and neither do we. We both found the film to be fascinating and Colin Firth as the King will surely get many awards, contrary to public opinion we thought his co-star as his Queen was really poor and that must have helped him to be so superb.
