just been announced that the traditional christmas party for her 600 staff has been cancelled this year due to the economic situation.
i wonder whether this will filter down to the lower blue bloods?
anyone who has visited wadsworth-smith house on christmas morning will have been moved by the sight of the flunkeys lined up, forelocks tugged, ready to recieve an encouraging word, even a present sometimes.
these traditions need to be kept.

Christmas is a good opportunity to provide those badly needed new forelocks, whittled down with the constant tugging - let's hope this tradition continues. How will Her Madges flunkeys manage without replacement forelocks in this day and age?

Posh Barry has decide to go ahead with his Christmas bash,and the invitations are being printed now for his 350 close staff,but he has decided not to invite hangers on this year Howard,so I am afraid you will not get a Royal invite this year! But of course The Boss Paul Boland WILL be invited.I said that is unfair but Barry said Bosses only not assistants,or deputies other wise Nick Clegg will be there.
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!

Howard you are an exception to the rule, hanger on you are not, there will a seat for you in the main hall, just as long as you don't pinch all the lurchers bones

glad you have forgotten the last incident barry.
i did explain that i was taking the sterling silver cutlery home to polish it, you seemed to be under the impression at the time that i was just half inching it.

Oh not Grouse again Barry, Does that mean I have to oil your weapon again M'lud.
Can't we just give Howie a good beating.

yet another beating would not bother me ian, anything is better than posh sitting on a horse, wearing a red jacket, blowing that bugle and setting his pack of beagles on me.
