Well this is just to move it into storage. Obviously when we move from storage to the house in a few weeks we will have to arrange for a prestigious moving service with all the staff dressed up in top hats and that.

Oh, I assumed your butler would reorganise the staff rotas so it's just "done for you" while you're away on the yacht for the week.

There's probably a good business model to be made from hiring out a Queen lookalike, Rolls Royce and chauffeur to visit people when they've moved into new houses, just to wind up the neighbours....

Yes, my line manager is a lord, proper posh to the point that all his clothes are falling apart and he always looks like he has been dragged through a hedge backwards.

Yes this lady was extraordinarily shabby in a glamorous kind of way. Had been a model in her younger days and he and she had had a bit of a wilder youth. A sort of riches to rags story I think.

She still managed lipstick, necklaces and bracelets whilst spendng the day surrounded by turkeys, ducks, chicken and their doings.

I just have not got what it takes to be chic in all circumstances..or any circumstances come to that.:rotfl:

Remember when strawberry the chicken fell in the muck heap/pit?

Today one of my parents did.

The long version is a very funny story which were I up to it would have told very, very well, but I know PN in particular likes hearing of scantily dressed rescue missions in poop, so rather than just not say anything, I thought I'd mention it.

( I got the lawn cut, so not nothing done. And some early lavender cuttings. ( we're going to need dozens at least, of cutting sessions, but I have picked our young plants bare today and not got many)

Dogs should have eaten by now but I need some time to recover and DH is watering.

I take it all is well. It has a "carry on" feel to it and picturing it made me smile. Hope once the alarm receded there was a funny side so I am laughing with the Rates and not at them.

That's one of my current car criteria - car before had a 1 cubic litre boot capacity, with the usual sloping sides etc.... this one's got a full 3 cubic litres with the seats dropped down - and straight sides and no boot lip. I can carry everything .... I could put everything in storage at any point and head off with all the basics in one load.

I think Pastures was hinting that she was available, if only you said the word.

That is a fantastic idea! The Queen one week then David Cameron lookalike the next. I could also get an Ed Miliband lookalike around and then chase him off my property waving my first and shouting abuse. It's one of the safest Tory seats in the country so that should get me some local respect.

I almost checked to see if the webaddress monocledmovers.com actually existed after reading chewy's last post.

The idea of fake posh movers or post-move visitors sounds like something from a Flann O'Brian book.

He suggested tsetting up a company of smooth-talking ventriloquists who could be hired to sit at restaurant tables next to inarticulate men who were trying to impress their dates but didn't have any charming small-talk or repartee. The men would move their lips while the ventriloquists would do all thier talking for them.

Then a NP get rich quick scheme was born.

We need fc123 now to develop it commercially.

DW can fit 3 litres in the basket on her bike...I think you can probably even get that much...well 3 x 75cl bottles anyway...into a mini.
