Yeah, sack that servant! Sounds like s/he never even shows up!

Bad servant is still better than no servant.

Haha, English dishes cooked to perfection = fry anything in lard, add chips.

These are so much better than the equivalent ones from the 50's. Those assume you cook and clean everything yourself, no servants in sight.

Lack of servants is a horrible imperfection in any marriage...
