Tea? (Part 2)

[Arch]

Anyway, I got in feeling rather empty, so made a very quick dinner of fish finger sandwiches, which I wolfed down. Feeling a bit now...

And I'm going out for a beer at 7! I'm hoping the walk will settle my stomach a bit.

I don't know, but I think butlers were rather grand servants, and I'm not sure they'd stoop to garage and stabling matters.

Hmmph - yes in large households. Is your's large enough for more than one servant?

Feel better Arch. But really - fish finger sandwiches - I thought you knew better.

My grandparents had a servant. Her name was Eva and they had a bell push in each room to summon her

What happened Rocky? Did your parents spend all that inheritance

What is wrong with a fish finger butty? The law states they have to be served with ketchup

In size, yes! In income, well, we could maybe afford a rat on a YTS scheme.

Ha ha ha....no I think the 20th century caught up with them

My grandparents were almost Victorian in their outlook....snobbish, upper middle class, with friends in the 'City'. It was the done thing to have a maid servant in their social circle. I wasn't very fond of them because they didn't like young children - even their own grandchildren. They could never show any emotion or love.....that would be letting the side down. They also felt that my father married below himself - something my mother (who is now 80) has never got over.

Oh Crumbs Rocky. I was on the tail end of that "children should be seen and not heard" attitude from some of my older relatives. Childhood in Victorian society must have screwed quite a few up.........

I had one with, and one without. Partly due to only having enough ketchup left for one....

I don't do it often, but I wanted a quick supper. I just ate it too quickly....

 

[Night Train]

Sooooo - those other butlers with whom Jeeves mixed from time to time would wash a car wouldn't they?

Butlers wouldn't lower themselves to car washing. That job was for the chauffeur, who may or may not entrust it to the footman.

So now it's a rat butler we need to find...........

When I was a kid I quite fancied a job as a butler, or a chauffeur. My folks weren't as keen on the idea of me 'going into service'.
Then again I guess I can understand given that my Mum's family had staff before the cultural revolution.
