Swivel-eyed tories EVERYWHERE!!
They moved on to explaining why they didn't have live-in domestic staff. Although one did say he wouldn't mind the extra help while entertaining at the weekend.
And it's not like I was being nosey eavesdropping. I suspect most of the parish heard, if not the county.
Brommers-
Well, surely they can have their domestics without staff assistance?

I know Bellingham well... Ex-mother-in-law was the postmistress in a small village near Chollerford... One Christmas the local 'Squire' gave her a brace of pheasant, she didn't have a clue what to do with them... Cue me, Mister City Boy rock'n'roll weirdo, plucking and dressing them ready for her freezer in no time flat, gave me a lot of satisfaction as she was a terrible Hyacinth Bucket type and thought her daughter could've done much better... Which I couldn't argue with, obvs...
The Military Road up there is one of my favourite places on the planet, absolutely fucking beautiful... Treacherous in winter, mind... Woke up one Christmas holiday and couldn't feel the top of my head, it was actually sore it was so cold... And this is when I still had hair, wearing a woolly hat to bed seems a bit over the top to me but I can see how it might be appropriate on some occasions...

Very true, used to spend a lot of time around Hexham, ex-wife is from up there, and at the time it was said to have the highest concentration of millionaires in the UK... Swivel-eyed tories EVERYWHERE!!
