In some ways but on a lower scale like the appointment of Mayors from Aldermen long ago. Interestingly for many years after the Second World War Redcar had a majority of Independent members mainly tradesmen and women.

I’ve only just seen your reference to attendances at Versailles. You’re quite right, I couldn’t believe the vast queue to gain entrance to the Palace so my wife and I decided to just explore the gardens. On our first holiday abroad in 1969 our guide arranged for a 7.30 breakfast to avoid the long queues at Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna and it was well worth the early start as we managed to enter without waiting, similarly the Winter Palace in Leningrad, now St Petersburg.
Hi Ken. I think you need to get SpecSavers to pay you a visit 😉, it was Martin Bellamy that posted the reference to Versailles and not myself.

I’m sick and tired of swapping my spectacles around from watching DVDs to reading. I’ve tried varyfocals and had cataract removals all to no avail. Little wonder then that I can never remember what day of the week it is.
