I reckon probably 60%, maybe more. There are few things that make you feel proud to be British anymore, I suppose that's about the closest you will get outside of armed forces. You see, you are made to feel like a racist if you fly the British flag in our society, so events like this are something different. Middle England comes into its own then. I personally don't have any affinity for the Royal Family, but putting a commoner (middle class, anyway) in there can only help.

Apparently the British Government is $1,000 million richer today due to everything related to this wedding

A billion? From what, all the TV rights and shit?

I wish I were British monarchy. They don't do anything but have brunch and tea and they still have mad money to burn.

Anybody who actually took time out of their day to watch that stuff, and isn't British, is an idiot.

Yes indeed, millions of people across the world are idiots. Shocker.

And get flown around the world, tough gig. But still, many people, including thousands of Americans, ensure that they make the country hundreds of millions.
